Pat James commented on Pat James's blog post Swimming Pool System"Jon, I thought about that. First thought was tilapia fry which I understand will eat anything that gets close. but I need a permit to legally have tilapia in my state.

Stephanie B. commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"So after the tour the first thing I decided I needed for my system was a swirl filter. So went looking on the internet for plans and found this one. It was super easy to implement, but then again I cheated and had the guys at Tank and barrel install…"

New and need advice
I have a 600 gal. talipia stock tank and plan on running 6 grow beds off of it, using the poly pools at Frys food store that are sold for $10 each.

Jay commented on Anselmo Torres's group SoCal aquaponics"Socal has some issues along with not very many people are growing their own food but there are many areas that don't allow certain fish. Even if you live in an area that allow fish it looks like for 800.00 you can obtain a…"
