So glad to hear your die off has ended. Too bad it is a mystery, we should be able to learn from these events that seem to happen each spring to someone.
@ Sheri/Bob
bummer on the eggs. Was that female from your grow…"
Jim Enterline replied to Jim Enterline's discussion Leaf Curl Problem"Thanks George, I thought the tomatoes should have already been been blooming but they are not, that is probably why. I did the vinegar test on the gravel media after I could not get the pH down, and it was OK.
I'll just go with leafies for now…"
Samson J. Loo commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@Sheri that's cool. At least now I know what they look like so I won't be surprised when I happen to see this sometime after I finally setup my AP system."
sticky replied to Louise's discussion What's good on a raft?"Sweet, I came looking for the same thing. I just got done erecting some 4" pipes to use as a deep water culture. And i was curious was plants would be good in that short of set up. I have a bunch of lettuce plants ready to put it but i have 3…"
sticky replied to Bryan Bebout's discussion some varmit is eating my green bean plants"Would worm tea be effective against snail?"
sticky replied to Jennifer Dozar's discussion Peanuts?"I would wonder about over saturating the fruit. A constant exposure to water, even if you are using flood and drain, would seem to ruin peanuts.

Sheri Schmeckpeper commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Yes, Samson, Nile tilapia. I guess I left my post in mind-reading mode. LOL!"
Samson J. Loo commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@Sheri I take it that those are tilapia eggs?"
Sheri Schmeckpeper commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Hi, All! I've been AWOL & will need to get caught up, but today I wanted to show you this from a mature female (about 3 lb) that we harvested. These are her egg sacs, and every one of those little pearls are eggs. Apparently she was ready…"

I have a hatchery manual here that says:
"The breeders should be kept between 85 and 92 degrees F to achieve good breeding"
Here's a document from the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center about all things Tilapia.…"
Bob Wohl commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@ Jim my temp is sitting at right about 81, it's in the shade (not the bed though). This brings up my question of "What is the max temp for these fish?" I'm curious and I would like to be pro-active so I don't…"
