The Aquaponics project.....

 
In the spring summer I got around to cutting up a perfectly good IBC ......

To make an aquaponics system for my small (10x10) hoophouse

Just a few cuts to put the top upside down into the bottom of the pallet (sounds complicated but not so much) Once it was set in the house .... We added some minnows to start ....

Next was the plumbing and gravel that the plants will be growing in .....

After a  few days to a week ... It took a few weeks for the water levels pH, ammonia, nitrite, and phosphate levels to equal out .... Once they all did it was and is still so worth the wait !

And the fish are growing well and will taste good with some fresh greens !

I am now working on a small "urban" set up for a very good friend to have in her apartment .... Fish and greens without going to the supermarket ..... That's PERMACULTURE !!!
