Vertical High-Density Aquaponics Gardening Systems
There is now an extreme urgency in developing new systems to grow as much food in as little space as possible. The only problem with this is as man develops different systems they will develop less expensive methods but they will always sacrifice quality over cost, and I guarantee you this will be the case here.Look at today’s Agricultural system, they genetically enhance the seeds to provide strategic mutations that kill or disarms pests or blight, they produce quantity in less acreage too.…See More

Lanna joined TCLynx's groupProduce Marketing
The truth is you don't make any money growing vegetables. To make money you have to sell the vegetables. At least 80% of a commercial aquaponic farm business has basically nothing to do with aquaponics. So instead of talking about commercial aquaponics, I want this group to be about selling produce.See More

Joe Bifano posted a discussionSystem is 1 year old and need to find out the best way to clean up bottom of rafts
I have 2 separate systems and moved my fish from 1 tank to the other, so I have double of what I should have in 1 tank. They are doing okay but I need to get them back as soon as possible.I have a new swirl filter on the system I am cleaning along with media beds that are being used for growing and filtering. I have worms in my beds but could use more.I want to remove the solids that have built up in the bottom of my rafts. There is decomposed brown matter in the raft bottoms and when I grow…See More

Ahhh your first aquaculture harvest.. *envy*
Big slap on the back.. you're now a 'seasoned' AP'er and that's no small feat! "
Pat James replied to Pat James's discussion Tilapia as 'graisers' in the group Tilapia Growers"Jon, How do you manage your tilapia over the coldest months? Do you just move a few breeders into an indoor aquarium? I'm not sure how cold my pool gets in the winter, but I would bet it is close to 50."
Nick Scud posted a discussionNFT "zig-zag" question - Please Advise
Hi Forum - I currently have a small, backyard system running- it's built from a single IBC 275 fish tank and another IBC chopped into 2 media grow beds. I have a 55gal sump burried, and a small 35-gal roughneck box as a "mini raft bed" just prior to the sump, along the return line. I'm looking to add some more lettuce growing capacity, without wasting precious media-bed space, and I am currently tinkering with a 3 level "zig-zag" made of 4" (56" long) PVC sections and "90" fittings. The…See More
Paula Costa replied to Roger & April Frederick's discussion Anyone using Growstones?"
Growstone believes in facts and sound science to back all ‘claims’ it makes about its products.
This is why we have chosen to spend time and money conducting sound research with Universities in the US and in The Netherlands since…"
Jim Troyer commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Hi Bayy Quest:
There are lots of options other than uniseals.
I use threaded PVC connections with bathroom sink or bathtub drain gaskets. I have gone to 1.5" pipe and fittings on everything. For me smaller just does not flow…"
Chris Cates replied to Scott Hair's discussion What fish would you recommend for a beginner?"If you fix them in place you'll soon find a reason to remove them, but if you make them removable you'll never need to."
