What size "pond" is that? Also, is that the type of pump you get with the system?

[backyardaquaponics]

@h45e which one, there are two in the video?

How Much was this system that the ladies just installed?

[backyardaquaponics]

@11gdh12 That wasn't actually a system. The 4 bed system in the background, with all parts provided mostly precut and drilled, etc, it's about 7 grand. One bed DIY system with 1000L fish tanks start under $1000, up to this 4 bed with everything.

I saw that you placed the pump on the bottom of the fish tank. Would it be a good idea to place the pump on a block or something a few inchs off the bottom so that it doesnt suck up any solids?

[backyardaquaponics]

@taketimeeveryday The idea is that we want to suck up the solids and pump them into the beds, here they breakdown as fertilizer for the plants.

[ugkcdrock]

is it possible to not use a pump, or a non- electric pump?

@dragonfiel.....I have seen the Chinese use huge fish ponds with floating rafts. they just push them around to get to what they need. They also raise shrimp and crawfish in their ponds. The ponds are deep and they put on waders to get around in the pool

@dragonfiel yes you can use like foam boards but that works better for seedling production and then moving those seedlings into expanded clay
