My goal is a small fishing pond for the grandchildren to fish in . Originally this pond was going to be used for an aquaponic grow in which I was going to use tilapia. I am still on the same path , just a slight detour. Nothing says bluegill and channel cannot be used in the aqua setup. Just the growth rates are slower and tilapia will yield more meat with less feed. Either will be challenging for children to catch on ultra lights...
In order for the aquagrow to successful , I need micro-organisms.
Maybe it is ready for a bio filter to start growing...I have already successfully grew tomatoes on a floating raft in the pond
