A bigger holding tank would be better, if you can manage it, about six times the amount of water taken out whilst…"

Hi Shaun, thanks for your message. I have 2 aquaponics set ups that we are just trying to get all sorted. I work doing aquaculture research so this is kind of a new thing we are trying out. We have one which is a media grow bed system and one that we are going to do a veritcal garden with. We are in the early stages but hoping to do some science on the whole thing. Really keen to meet others who are doing aquaponics in New Zealand.
