If you want inspiration to build a bit larger aquaponics system, then maybe our build can help. We have a system with place for about 7000 plants, with two fish tanks of 4.5 m3 each. We have about 200 rainbow trout. Total system water volume is 38 m3.
We are also running a prototype setup where we take roots and plants not sold and feeding them to mealworms, which will become food supplement for the fish. This way we won’t need to feed them as much conventional fish feed.
This is a pilot and demo facility, and we have spent about 15 000 hours building it and learning, and material cost has been about €200k.
