It's the middle of winter here, so I've insulated the fish tanks and the sump with some roof insulation covered in black plastic, to keep the water temperature up. It makes a big difference, especially if the pump is turned off at night. When the water's cold, the fish don't eat as much and growth slows down.

I am impressed Julie at how you have put all this together! Looks great and those lava pellets will last forever. Good choice! Thanks for the invite. I will drop around in the next few weeks to have a look when you are around. Cheers!

How are the fish doing? Have they gotten big enough to eat yet?

Aquaponics tanks rafts floating in a relatively deep aquaculture basin in troughs. Raft tanks can be constructed to be quite large, and enable seedlings to be transplanted at one end of the aquaponics tank while fully grown plants are harvested at the other, thus ensuring optimal floor space usage.
