<p>Most of the people love to have the property having all the lavish amenities like having the swimming pool in the back yard and the patio of the modern design. But in the same way, if you are having a swimming pool, it is very essential to maintain its security by installing the fencing.

<p>Generally starting out big is a good idea but there is a saying that too much of anything isn't. The first question I have for you is - are you new to aquaponics or have you had a smaller unit before? If you are a "newbe" then I would go a bit smaller. You have the room in your pool for a few IBC totes and I would suggest that you try those out first to see if you enjoy aquaponics. </p>

<p>Generally starting out big is a good idea but there is a saying that too much of anything isn't.

You have the room in your pool for a few IBC totes and I would suggest that you try those out first to see if you enjoy aquaponics. </p>
<p>With the totes you can combine the two with a cross-over tube and run both tanks into two growbeds located above the lower halves using only one pump. I did a 26 tote system that works great and used 13 pumps to run the system.</p>
<p> With the 400gallon cut down tanks combined you still have time to catch any problems that occur without getting overwhelmed with a larger system.</p>
<p> If you decide to go with the IBC totes, contact me and I'll send you the plans and info you need to construct it properly. I am glad to see more interest in aquaponics, just remember to have fun and don't be overwhelmed if problems do crop up</p> An alternative idea I had:

An alternative idea I had:<br />
<br />
Split the pool into 2 zones. One zone houses grass carp and silver carp, the other grows duckweed and other aquatic plants to feed the fish and humans. Pump from the fish zone into grow beds, then drain from the grow beds to both the 2 zones of the pool (to keep the fish water aerated as well as circulate the plant zone).<br />

<br />
In this system, the plant zone of the pool provides some of the water filtration, like a natural swimming pool. This reduces the need to have a 1:1 grow bed to tank ratio, which would necessitate 40m3 of grow bed! Too much for a starting out system.<br />

Any thoughts?
