Progress

Back again with another update... I added the last loop to the greenhouse, so I have another five feet added to my space. I just have to had the front on and we are good to go. Since the last post I setup up the system in the GH. Next step is to build a long grow bed to get the lettuce production underway. The bio filter is running well, I can see the difference in the algae level. Still don't have any tilapia as yet.

Had to add some ducktape to keep the plastic from making so much noise, it is getting very windy. Well check out the pics and make some comments. Thank you for your interest.

So Far.....

So I'm back after a long break from blogging. I am was working on putting up the green house and killing fish. I'm sorry Sherrell, you can call me a fish killer now. What had happen was...lol... I did a 100 % water changed with the tap water, I know, dumb and even dumber. But that stupid algae didn't want to go away. Well I lost 6 gold fish. The sucking fish and cray fish is still alive. I would not try to change the water like that again.

Well the greenhouse is almost finished, have to add one more hoop and the front side with the door. Inside there is extremely hot is I am going to be making a few adjustments to correct that. Love going inside there tho, it's like another room. If my yard was secured better I'd move a bed and tv in there. Then I can work late nights.

So make comments and ask questions!

Still Alive

Hey Guys. I'm still alive and moving along with the aquaponics. Just a little busy setting up the green house, so give me a day or 2 and I should have the pics to show you how it went. I'm building the greenhouse out of 1" PVC pipes covered in plastic. Wish me luck.
