My PVC greenhouse frame..

[quadcam79]

Heres my latest project ... a PVC greenhouse for my aquaponics system. I built it yesterday in like 60mph wind gusts
got my pile of PVC together and just did it of the top of my head..still needs some anchors and bracing but all in all I have a greenhouse frame it's about 10'longx15'widex8' tall in the center. I cut the plastic for the covering but it was just too windy to do anything

I'm going to tap into the power at the well just a few feet away and run a power line to the greenhouse

Thanks, glad you like it .
by the way, if you do get down this way I read of a really cool ride you can take down by ocala. some back country road SR 326 from ocala to gainsville and is all canopy trees and twisties.

check out this thread about that area on the jockey journal http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31229&highlight=ocala

looks like a cool ride quad.
i was wondering... how you are gonna deal with algae with all that natural sunshine? ebb and flow with an expanded clay aggritate medium?

cheers,

exactly, i have about 200 lbs of Hydroton clay that I scored off craigslist for $30. I'm eventually going to make the growbeds from 55 gallon plastic drums as soon as I find some cheap.
I have 2 , 30 gallon aquariums that i'm going to use to house some goldfish for starting out. eventually I want to try and have one tank of tilapia, one of prawns and another with crayfish.

I'm going to start small and build off that

rock on brother,

the plants will consume the waste of the livestock. i'm curious to see how long it takes the plants to catch up with the critters. killer deal on the aggregate btw!

cheers
