      The Indy 11.5 design has been built and tested thoroughly at Murray Hallam’s Practical Aquaponics. The system design is robust and proven in both construction and operation. Today, the pilot/working system is performing well and delivering high quality fish and vegetables. Building an Indy 11.5 by following these plans and operating instructions will produce excellent results. However, the day-to-day operation of the system is entirely in the hands of the owner operator of the system. Practical Aquaponics/Team Economics Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility for the day to day operation of the system or the quantity or quality of the produce and/or fish produced by and in the system built by any individual or corporation from the plans or information provided in this manual.

The directions given in this manual will give you the information necessary to build this vibrant Aquaponic garden. You will have a full list of components, detailed plans, a comprehensive list of all the tools you will need to get the job done, step-by-step instructions to follow so you can build with confidence, and some trade secrets to get the most out of your Indy Fish Garden 11.5.
