Almost Done!

A few days have passed and the progress on the aquaponic system is going smoothly. The construction is almost done. The growbed and the pond is done. Only the gravel for the growbeds and the pipings are needed to be done. So far so good. As you can see in the picture,i essentially have one huge growbed. I don't know if this is the ideal setup, but this one is the most practical setup for me. There are a lot of things that can be improved on based on this first attempt at urban farming. Hopefully all of the things that i have learned based on this first attempt can be incorporated in farm number 2. I would want to change some minor things on this design but for this iteration, I'm pretty satisfied already.

Hope that this would work come the planting phase...: >

Growbed pic,one big growbed 32 feet by 16 feet. Kinda worried that the sun is blocked on the end part.

Another view,again kinda worried that only a little sun reaches that end.
