Garden Pool is a non profit organization in the McClung's family backyard. They bought a house and the pool was empty and they did not want to fix it so they decided to turn it into a large green house with a pond in the deep end. They give classes on many different topics such as: what to grow, how to grow it, how to harvest, what works, what doesn't. They are also making efforts to teach community members how to grow their own food! Here are some pictures of my duckweed and string algae production.
Trying to get some string algae to grow to feed the Tilapia
I propped the shade cloth up to get some breeze flowing through
and to shade the walls from the sun. The're acting like a furnace
radiating heat.
My grow media cubic feet bio filter to gallons of water is: 10 cubic
feet of grow media to about 85 gallons of water(25-30 gallon
sump/grow bed plus 55 gallon fish tank)
7.48 gallons = 1 cubic foot
85 gallons needs to have a minimum of 11.36 cubic feet. This is a 1:1 ratio.
If we say that I only need to filter the fish tank water of 55 gallons then,
55 gal to 7.35 cubic feet
