How big is your fish tank?: I have one 8 ft plastic stock pond for the tilapia and 6 totes for the catfish. al together about 1600 gallons.

Please tell us something else about yourself.: I didn't know a thing about aquaponics or fish care before I started two years ago. Jumped in with both feet and managed to harvest over a hundred pound of fish each year and mor veggies than we can eat. I give a lot away. I'm a computer guy in my day job and aquaponics is a backyard hobby for me, I have a 15x30 home made green house and most of my back yard is used for one system or another.
