This is my first real Aquaponics system.
The system consisted of an 800 litre mega bin, a 250 litre fingerling tank and a 200 litre sedimentation tank. Two 65 litre bio-filters were used to nitrify the fish wastes.
It had a total water capacity of 1000 litres and, at its peak, it housed 44 plate-sized Jade perch and a further 90+ Jade perch fingerlings.
My growing systems comprised a small gravel/expanded clay ebb and flow grow bed and a collection of growing trays and satellite pots.

This unit is now being used to grow out about 90 advanced Jade Perch fingerlings.
My experience of this small system provided the design criteria for the first Aquaponics system in Australia to be designed specifically for backyard use.
