    UK city aquaponics

    I'm working with a couple of people to build a test aquaponics system that recycles waste and looking for inspiration and ideas from the forum and others builds. Firstly materials to build a housing and greenhouse with limited space, and some indoor systems. We have a load of ideas to improve efficiency but need a working smaller scale model to measure improvements as they are made.

    Thanks in advance

    Re: UK city aquaponics

    Wouldn't improvement of design and effeciency depend on the bases for the original design? I may have read wrong. But anyways there's hundreds of different designs. Each one is slightly different as the builder builds it to their space and needs/desires. Some do it in their basement, some use combinations of inside/outside FT and GB. Some use only electric lighting, other's use very little or none. Sorry. I don't have a one size fits all answer for you.
    At first I left this blank...but now I believe: "It's better to keep your mouth closed, and have the world think your a fool, than open it and confirm it."

    MY Rooftop System (Photo Journal!! )

    take a look at my system. i built it from wood and a rubbermaid tank.

    its simple and the growbed is 33x33 inches.

    this is a small space system that is very easy to build and learn from.
