Creating the Base for the Main Fish Tank

Hey all you beautiful humans! Today I got started working on creating the frame that the Main fish tank will sit on for the transition aquaponics system I'm building. My fish from my city system will need a home for a while until I can get my system set up and cycling on my homestead land.

The above photo shows the holes I dug out using some post hole diggers and some PVC I placed in temporarily to get an idea for how tall I will want to cut some 4x4's I plan to use as the legs. I will be concreting them in so the frame will be super solid.

I started by measuring between the wall of the garage and my first hole. I wante at least 3ft in between the two so I will be able to walk around the entire tank with ease.

Using some treated 2x6's that were laying around I used their length as a guide for spacing my holes. It will be a 3'x3' square frame.

This is the concept for the entire system. I plan to do a full step by step write up post by the end of the build, but share the updates with y'all as I go along.

If you're around and are interested in aquaponics or hydroponics indoor growing! That will be the big topic for tomorrow May 18th Meadows and Makers Podcast with my guest @mckenziegary, he is a fellow DJ from MSP-WAVES and has been experimenting with an automated indoor growing system in an small space.

Yours in liberty toward a brighter future.
