David - WI replied to Michael sanders's discussion I want to monitor my AP system from a web site"The new Neptune Apex has a webcam feed so you can view a camera while checking the readings. It's going to be VERY hard for the average aquaponic gardener to beat the APEX I think.

dave jersey replied to Michael sanders's discussion I want to monitor my AP system from a web site"In the last couple years I am sure y'all have made great strides in AP automation - what systems do you use, how is the pricing, and how well does it work for you? There are commercial systems out there but i am honestly more interested…"

This fish got red spots on both sides and his nose late last night. has anyone seen anything like this before?
Still has them this morning... "
Jaimie Denner posted a discussionDog waste ok in Biopod?
The thought of putting Dog waste in the Biopod (a remarkable compost bin that self harvests Black Soldier fly larvae) got me excited. Dog poop is not good for anything, but, in this case, is it "good" for growing larvae and then later feeding my fish the larvae? Animal manure is encouraged, Dog poop is not manure but we catch alot of gofers and the larvae love decomposing them so I need some thoughts! Am I crazy?See More
Jim Troyer commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"It would have to breathe Matt.
You can buy socks at Goodwill for next to nothing. Be sure to ask for the aquaponics socks special! (Matt don't tell anyone about this okay?)

John Malone commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Radial Flow Filter - Update
It's only been a few days since I installed a DIY radial flow filter on my system and initial results are quite impressive.

Shivanie Ramnarine posted a status"ok so latest test results are Ph 6.8 nitrites 2.0 ppm nitrates 20ppm"
John replied to John's discussion Low pH from grow media?"Just as a post mortem, I kept adding lime and checking pH over a couple weeks. It did the trick, now I'm almost done nitrogen cycling, and seedlings seem fine. I'll be ready to add fish next week!"
Jim Fisk replied to Vlad Jovanovic's discussion GMO's may have led to increased pesticide/herbicide usage"Those are "conservative" in name only. They are politicians first. Say what you like but right now it is the liberals in charge that are destroying what used to be a good idea. How do you know when a politician is lying? Surely I…"
Jacques L. commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@Sheri
No more aggressive behavior than usual.. and some of the ones dying off are my biggest fish. So don't think that's the issue. Besides.. 40 cut down to 10 is some pretty serious spousal abuse!"
ModeratorVlad Jovanovic replied to Scott Hair's discussion What fish would you recommend for a beginner?
"Verna, have you averaged out energy (heating) costs per pound of fish, per grow out season? (I'm particularly interested in winter heating costs for the tilapia). And how does that play out against the price you sell the fish for?"
Verna Gross replied to Scott Hair's discussion What fish would you recommend for a beginner?"We are at 6,500 ft elevation in SW Colorado where the temps can get pretty darn low. We have 36 Blue Tilapias that are locally grown and we maintain the IBC tote at around 74-78 f and everyone is growing nicely"
