Aquaponics the big system build. Mature, thriving vegetables, pictures!!

Hey everyone. One of the most rewarding things about aquaponics (and there are many) is once it is all setup and running, the beautiful daily progress in the growth of the plant and fish life, just witnessing them growing and thriving and happy in the perfect environment truly does bring a sense of satisfaction hard to rival.

Swiss Chard a very interesting substitute for spinach. Looks very similar to beetroot but it's not.

Frilly leave lettuce close up, just look at that rich deep green healthy color.

General overview of one of the sides of one of the systems. South Facing, the system was built to get a good 8-10 hours of sun a day which is important for optimal plant growth.

Week old Swiss Chard germinated from seed, there is no way a plant will grow this fast in a traditional soil environment.

Close up of a frilly leaf lettuce with a robust root structure, thriving in flowing 'fish water' amazing.
