Title: Aquaponics for beginners
Post by: TWP on September 06, 2016, 10:02:00 AM
Good article, with three different systems which you can build.  The smallest for about $10-20.

The article covers most of the "basics" of how these systems operate.  You will need to gain experience on "fine-tuning" such systems.

DO NOTE: with rare exceptions, these systems require electric power, 24/7, to operate.  SO they will go down if you lose power...  This is not a problem for SHORT time periods, say up to one or two hours, but the fish need aeration and the plants need flowing, nutrient loaded water.  A generator backup or solar charged battery system is a wise addition to the system.

[edit] There are several videos in the article which you can watch and/or capture for your documentation.
