Less than 30 days seed to harvest

It was less than 30 days from seed to harvest with the lettuce. Everything else is doing great as well. Hope to be having zucchini and beans very soon. Oh and a little tilapia on the side.

Garden doing great

                                     

April 1st, no joke
We will be having salad from the garden 30 days from seed. Tilapia will make a nice main course.

Finally both systems are up and running. All the plants seem to be doing very well. Lettuce is growing like a weed and the peppers look healthy. Bean, zucchini and onion are all doing well. Fish seem happy, still unclear how much to feed.

System #2

Finally finished the second system so I can separate the large tilapia (6-8") from the smaller ones (3-5”). I still have the fry in the house. I plan on using the other half of the blue barrel for the first system. 

Babies are doing fine. Growing everyday. Pictures coming soon
Also should have the 80 gallon tank set up this weekend. Have my 55 gallon drum cut in half ready to go for the grow beds

Well I managed to save 7 of the babies. My wife said thats fine. 7 will make a nice fish fry. Put mom back with the other fish.

7 little bugers

Well looks like Sally is going to have 7 babies. They have been out for 24 hours and she looks at me like FEED ME!!. Just a little disappointing but considering everything I did wrong I’m happy with 7. Thanks for all the great advice from: http://aquaponicscommunity.com/group/tilapia-breeding?commentId=4778851%3AComment%3A285231&xg_source=msg_com_group
