Our 1st aquaponics build, dressed like an astronaut to protect the plastic from the sun.

Our first aquaponics build is in operation. A few fat-head minnow, some snails, and a pollywog munch algae in the tank.

Very small fish in a big tank.

The upper compartment, as seen from the outside…

… and from the inside.

Germinating lettuce, or possibly spinach.

Once the water level rises to its maximum, a bell siphon quickly drains the grow bed.

Water draining from the grow bed into the fish tank.

That’s it! There are a few things I’ll probably do differently on the next build, but this will do for now.
