I think its about time there be some discussion on aquaponics. Its a soil-less growing technique using recycled fish wast water, pretty much the exact same as dwc,ebb and flow and nft depending on how you want to set up your grow. Me, i do a ebb and flow technique i have 150 gallon rubbermade tank with 50+ red nile tilapia in it, above it is a 3'x4' wooden media bed i made out of 2''x6'' lined with a pond liner with a 3'' bell siphon that allows my water to be drained as soon as it reaches a certin hight.
up untill a few days ago i had a 1000w hps light witch was way too big for my growing space so i down-sized a lil by putting a ufo led light in the mix and seeing wonderfull results. So for any one out there growing aquaponicly, lets here it what kind of system are you running, and for all you hydroponic dwc growers, give aquaponics a chance, sub out your chemicals and thow a couple if fish in there instead. here are a pros and cons of aquaponics. #1.100% organic all the way #2. not only do you get amazing nugs you can grow edible fish in the process.#3 DUCKWEED<-- endless fish food that you can grow right in your system never wast money on chemicals again.# 4 almost no maintenance becaus you dont have to add jack exept fish food you cant add jack becaus you could kill your fish.#5 Using the fish water to water your soil plants..#6 Really fun to create your own system great for all thos DIY selfers. I would put some cons up there but honestly i have not come across any negative results to my aquaponic system... will post pics soon. I have been doing this for a little over a year now so i wouldnt say im an expert but i deff got some experiance so if any one has any questions on anything i would love to help out in any way i can.
