Aquaponics system. Need people to critique my system

[Vodin]

My indoor AP system ( an tiny 55 gallon barrel ) has exceeded my expectations. I have pulled out about 20 Green beans and 2 of the 50 tomatoes growing tasted great. The tomatoe plants have grown to the roof and are curling over.

I am now completing a 150gallon setup in my basement. And when that one is running I will finalize rebuilding my 1800 gallon pond with growbeds. (11'x12')

My indoor systems will run year round and the pond will be running for the Colorado growing season. All the work and time I have put in these was taxing.

I can only imagine what you have done Helo. I am in awe with what you have accomplished.

Thanks, I don't want to think about what I have spent already, and still have at lest 6k more to spend. Probably more than that.

Silly me, eggplants.

How is the project coming along and how has harvest/yield been over the summer?

Has the greenhouse been completed, I can't wait to see some updated pics.

Oh, not much has been happening. My water was not right and my growth has been horrible. Started topping off with pond water and now everything is growing great. I guess my well water has to high a ph. Greenhouse is on hold till I get my finances in order. Had to take a pay cut at work so not spending any extra money till I get comfortable with the new pay. But now that my water is right I have eggplants growing, tomatoes going crazy, dwarf banana trees are going nuts, so from now on will only be topping off with pond water and rain water once my greenhouse is built.
