Welcome Vodin, how big of an Aquaponics system are you running?

I started outdoors with a 300 gallon pond.  Then transferred indoors into my office with a 55 gallon barrel.  Then transferred to the basement with a 150 gallon stock tank.

The basement system has been had a few crops run in it.  The last crop I seem to have raised some aphids as well.  I will be restarting it and just run lettuce while I learn the ins and outs on farming fish.  This is all run by 6 male Blue Nile Tilapia.  I need to get another 150 or 300 gallon stock tank into the basement.  It should all fir on a 10'x10' concrete slab.  The only question is getting the 300 gallon around the corner and down the stairs. 

Blue Nile Tilapia breed on average once a month and one pair will create 300-800 fry.  So you need to keep them separate.  More on that if there are any further questions.

Cant post all the pics of the systems.. sorry

3 of the male Tilapia are plate sized now 13"-14" and the other 2 were fry when I put them in 4 months ago (1/3") now they are about 6".

Thanks, planning farming them after obtaining the needed supplies.  Also pondering Channel Catfish as well but next year for that if all goes well.
