    My aquaponics systems and related stuff

    I sort of have a sustainability circle going with raising Black Soldier Flies, Vermicomposting, aquaponics, and raising tropical fruit. Each activity is a link in the circle. BSF provide food for tilapia, effluent to fertilize algae and duckweed ponds which is in turn fed to the fish. The BSF also provide residue which I feed to my worms. Worms get fed to the tilapia. Vermicompost and BSF residue mulch my tropical fruit trees. Tropical fruit peelings and deadfall feed my BSF. Tilapia feed the veggies, and veggie scraps and fish guts go back to feed the BSF. The only thing that gets wasted is me - when I'm drinking beer and enjoying myself playing with all my fun hobbies!

    Here's a YouTube video I posted today showing my current set up for all this:

    You should make a chart of those input/outputs in your system!

    Your video is surprisingly good for 240p!
