It is with great sadness, I removed the aquaponics system yesterday.
Build video is here:
And after it was up and running:
The gag at the front of the video is what got me into growing Carolina Reapers.
Afterwards I show off the system in a poorly edited fashion 😛
I got all the problems worked out, but there was a fundamental design flaw.
I shut it down after the first year for a redesign, and, well… “life”.
Four years later it was looking like an abandoned roller coaster
About as safe too.
So yesterday it got the chainsaw and I’ll be removing the remains slowly over the next few weeks.
Happy endings though...
Would you believe some of the fish from that first video are still alive four years later!
So here's to an awesome experiment, almost a family member.
It got my son Chris into tropical fish from day 1, these goldfish are in his room too!
Chris even got to slum it with this huge bullfrog named “Phillip” over this past winter!
But "phillip the Frog" is a story for another day.
Thanks for reading, enjoy the rest of your day 🙂
