Aquaponics Garden Build with Rainbow trout and leafy vegetables, Part 1.

craigcryptoking (69)in #aquaponics • 7 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone. I am really passionate about 'off gridding' part of this a rather large part actually includes aquaponics. I always tell anyone that is keen to get involved with aquaponics to start small. Get to know your way around the system, the functioning thereof the nutrients needed, water temps, fish-plants symbiosis etc.

This was one of my first systems setup in my garden behind my house. Not only was it very good exercise to build it was very rewarding from start to finish, watching the fish and plants grow and thrive, that satisfaction is hard to mimic.

Just finished digging the main fish tank lining it with plastic. Now for the NFT pipe installation..

Build, build, build ..

System pretty much complete now to plant and test..

I put a few small plants in to do a few tests, rainbow trout had been in for a few days now.

And a few more...

Extraordinary growth literally about a week later just look at that progress.

Thanks for following. In part two I will be posting pics of the fish and plants literally covering all those pipes a wall of green beauty.

Please feel free to comment and ask any questions about aquaponics below.
Cheer$:)

Very cool. What's the purpose of the "lid" over the fish tank?

Many reasons mate. Trout jump a lot very active fish. They need cold water, it keeps the water colder especially in the day. It keeps the sun off the water you don't want algae in the system. Cheer$:)
