Moving from Aquaponics system to RAS

Hello ,
       I've learnt that without P,K,Fe,Ca supplements plants in Aquaponics system will not grow properly , you will see all kinds of problems

If this is case one can go for hydroponics where all nutrients are given directly , anyways for now I wanted to move from Aquaponics to RAS for many reasons.

I've managed to buy MBBR media , Tilapia , high pressure aerator and water pump
and slowing I've to change my Aquaponics setup to suite RAS system

As of now I'm using 150ltr aquarium with little filteration , I've to upgrade it in future
here are some of the pictures and videos.









Happy growing :)

  1. Hi Nataraja,

    IMO Nutrient deficiency is common in an unmatured system, usually it takes around 1 year for the system to get mature and overcome such problems.
    By the way i am intended to start a media based F&D system, would be really very helpfull you can share your Tilapis sourcing details. PMed in FB as well reg the same.

    Thanks,
    Srujan.
