I'm new to aquaponics but have had a backyard pond for a number of years and have always had a garden, so it was time to combine the two. We always bring the goldfish in to an aquarium each winter cause it's too much of a hassle to winter them over. The pond is too shallow. So instead of cleaning the tank every couple of weeks I'm trying my first aquaponics in the basement. Might as well put the fish to work while they're inside!

It's set up, seems to be working, and we have plants up and growing. This will most likely lead to a larger system with food fish instead of goldfish, possibly in a greenhouse. But one step a time.

Looking forward to browsing and learning on the forum.
