Fish Jump

Now I know I’ve covered the importance of covers over fish tanks before but I’ll mention it again. It is very important to have a cover over your fish tank for several reasons. 1-to keep the sun from causing algae problems in your fish tank (now you don’t need to completely black out the tank, . . . → Read More: Fish Jump

Growing Shoots and seed starting

I set up my aquaponics raft bed last fall but haven’t done too much with it so far. I couldn’t find any 2″ foam so was stuck with 3/4″ and that isn’t really high enough for keeping the seedlings from water logging if I were to drill holes and place net pots in the foam. . . . → Read More: Growing Shoots and seed starting

Revising stocking recommendations

Now for a long time many people have said you could stock an outrageous amount of fish in an aquaponics system, however, I think most of these claims have some numbers mixed up and are probably taken a bit out of context, then when some one new to aquaponics goes and tries to mimic what . . . → Read More: Revising stocking recommendations

Life gets busy but Aqupaponics is easy

So I haven’t been as good about writing my blog posts lately but at least the aquaponics systems seem to get along just fine with little attention provided the system is well designed and balanced.

Duck A Ponics

So this isn’t quite aquaponics but Duckaponics. See the kiddie pool or whatever else we would use to give water to the ducks would get so nasty so fast and hand to be dumped and washed every other day and was such a waste of water. So when a neighbor brought us an old . . . → Read More: Duck A Ponics

300 Gallon system Jan 20, 2011 Video

I thought everyone would like to see the growth of the plants in the 300 gallon aquaponics system over the past 18 days. It’s looking pretty good now that I’ve added some netting to keep the neighbor chickens from eating the seedlings.

I’ve adjusted some things so that the aquaponics system is now operating . . . → Read More: 300 Gallon system Jan 20, 2011 Video

300 gallon video Jan 2, 2011

Well at the beginning of 2011 the 300 gallon aquaponics system looked a bit empty on the plant life but the fish were doing well. Here is a video of that aquaponics system.

Again this is the 300 gallon aquaponics system. That 300 gallon measurement is the fish tank size, attached to that 300 . . . → Read More: 300 gallon video Jan 2, 2011

300 gallon update

Well, after cleaning out the dead fish and leaving the system pump constantly and running flooded beds for several days as well as some extra pumping and filtration, the water is still a little cloudy but I decided it was time to put in some test pilots. I moved 4 fish from the other system . . . → Read More: 300 gallon update
