Fishing also led me to aquaponics! it's a beautiful thing to see all the things you love come together and work in harmony. I look forward to following your journey. I myself have been experimenting with small systems for about a year. I read that going bigger is better. Easier to maintain. The larger size gives time to adjust, so glade you have the room.

<p>Just monitor where the water goes in. If a water pipe is dumping too much solids and threatening to clog the media, put a sock on it temporarily and scoop whatever it is out of the fish tank... or don't scoop and instead change the sock. Take it over to the compost pile and turn it inside out, then put it back on the pipe.

<p>Hi Robert. Welcome to aquaponics! You will want to read the Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb on the home page upper left corner for some basic ratios and tips. As far as filtration, believe it or not it just isn't necessary with media based aquaponics...assuming you are working within the fish quantity to fish tank to grow bed ratios suggested in the Rules of Thumb. Red worms also help break down the solid waste and are a must for an optimally functioning aquaponics grow bed. </p>
