Thank you for the kind recommendations...Nick, both George and Vlad are right about the redworms for your system. Eisenia fetida are what work the best. Of all the species of redworms, they are…"

Leo White Bear replied to Carson McKenna's discussion The Heating Connundrum in the group Aquaponics For Beginners"Carson-
There are many You Tube videos on the Net that walk you through making a heater out of a water heater element and some PVC pipe. They are also regulated with a Spa thermostate to keep them from running constantly. Google…"

Aline So joined Jeff Givan's group
California Aquaponics
Had the great pleasure of meeting a fellow CA Aquapon, Andy from Santa Barbara. Got me to thinking we shouldn't be left out. There is a Florida and Colorado group so there has to be one from CA. Besides we can share links, ideas and suppliersSee More
Liz & Dan replied to David Schwinghamer's discussion Getting rid of birds in the group Arizona Aquaponics"I should also mention that even when I started rotating them around again, they no longer scared the birds. So I've taken them down and will put them back out in the fall. Until then, the peaches, apricots and other ripening fruit…"

You're going to have high humidity in the basement and will increase the risk of mold/mildew in your house. The…"

Carson McKenna replied to Carson McKenna's discussion The Heating Connundrum in the group Aquaponics For Beginners"Jordan,
I have yet to construct the tanks, still working out the plans, thinking IBC may be how I kickstart it. I definitely plan on insulating the IBCs! I have read much about the heat escapes through the cages. I have even dreamed about wrapping…"
