I've pretty much got the pieces cut and ready to assemble, but since it looks like we're moving house soon I've paused the installation.</p>
<p>What I've show here is the final goal. The initial implementation won't have the swirl filter and only one grow bed. It's designed to be as simple and compact as possible, so that it will fit easily into my backyard and there's hopefully not a lot to go wrong. The fish tank is designed to be sunk into the ground by 12"-18". Fish tank is 6'x4'x3'. Grow beds are 6'x4'x1'.</p>
<p>Comments are welcome.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Dave's so right, getting started is the biggest challenge. Once the initial balancing act is past and the system matures, PH falls into place. Grasshopper, balance is everything! Looking forward to your updates!</p>

This guy talks alot about that and makes it look easy. He talks about PH and how it relates to the fish and plants. He talks about PH lock out and what it does to the plants and fish.

<p>Great point. Sorry to say, the key is getting started.. from there fine tune it and make it work for you. During our tour in Tucson, a comment made to me was, "You make everything yourself?" </p>
<p>I enjoy this work/hobby.</p>
<p>In a grad school class on greenhouse design, I mentioned the easiest way for me to grow my own food is in an aquaponic system.</p>
<p>Just do it! We are a bunch of helpful people in this culture.</p>

<p>Hi, my name is Stephanie. My fiancee and I have a backyard system that we finished building last summer that consists of a big pond and a bunch of half barrel grow beds. We're located in South Phoenix. Right now i have about 20 bluegill fingerlings, three koi, and a random amount of mosquito fish.</p>
