This blog will be dedicated to the day to day trials and tribulations of my Aquaponics backyard system. Aquaponics in Arizona will prove to be a challenge with the heat. By starting the system now I hope to get the garden and tank well established by summer, and work out any bugs. Of which I expect many. Aquaponics:"Aquaponics is the farming of fish and plants together in a constructed, re-circulating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish wastes to plant nutrients.

Now What?
I now have more tilapia babies than I know what to do with. I want to get a small pool to accommodate them but it will be a little difficult to convince my wife. LOL oh well I hope to bring some to my wife’s sisters who has a pond with duck weed problem.
Zucchini and beans are doing great.

Proud Daddy
Started cleaning fish and discovered one with mouth full of tiny fish. She is now in the 60 gallon tank taking care of her babies. She may be transfered to the larger tank this weekend as they seam to be getting along fine.

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.
