I can but I'm pressed for time right now as far as posting pictures. I'll get back to this thread shortly.

I responded to your other thread. The new ones shouldn't be that expensive from one of the Building supply stores. You should be able to get them dirt cheap used.

Easy. Water is pumped via a small mag drive pump from the top of the filter tank (clarifier) to the bottom of the biofilter tank (mbbr) moving bed bioreator. That tank is set higher than the fish tank so it just drops back in the fish tank via a pipe. However with the aquaponic raft tank the water goes first to the raft tank and then back to the fish tank.

Also you are working with male Tilapia as well correct?


Yes, new species for me is tilapia in the outside tank.

Mine are hybrids so they are mostly male and possibly no females. Not seeing any young in the tank. At first with the cool and wet weather it was staying on the cool side in the lower 70's but since then has increased due to the heat wave.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
