Aquaponics System Back yard aquaponics system. running a 330 gallon tilapia fish tank and two 3'x4' grow beds using hydroton as the media. it is a flood and drain system w 2 bell siphons.
Aquaponic is a synergistic fusion of hydroponics
(growing
plants in water) and aquaculture (fish farming). While the fish
fertilize the plants with natural nutrients of its waste products, the
plants in turn filter the water for the fish.
The integration of plants and fish necessitates that
NO chemical pesticides be used.It is an eloquent, balanced, organic
system.
Raising fish and growing vegetables is one activity
worth
exploring. Enjoy the great taste and advantages of fresh, natural and
healthy food. You will help reduce worldwide demand
for scare
resources and mitigate the rising food cost.
Go for this Eco-friendly way of producing sustainable
fish
and vegetables for your own consumption. Aquaponic works well for those
with limited space too. Take action and start the journey!
I was thinking about starting my own mini aquaponic system?
I was planning on using tilapia as the fish and read the water space to fish ration is 1 2 lb to 1 gallon. I'm not exactly clear on what tilapia breeds can be eaten but are very small. What is a reasonable sized tank for a smaller breed of tilapia for a set up in my room? What are other breeds of fish that do well in an aquaponic system? I was thinking a 15 20 gallon tank would be reasonable. I'm not very interested in harvesting fish but more on harvesting the plants. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
