This is the web page for the micro Aquaponics sistem that caught your eye. http://store.backtotheroots.com/AquaFarm_p/aquaponics.htm It is not my product. I just thought it was a neat idea. I'm not sure that this product can be helpful in the successful promotion of aquaponics as a sustainable science.  It can be a real challenge to grow anything in such a small system. This has been said by many people. Time will tell. Good luck.

Dell I got an email where you asked about bacteria in a raft.  Media beds should always be placed before the raft to filter gunk.  Media beds provide constant nitrification and clear water.  If you have only rafts, the nitrification will vary when you harvest and remove the roots where the bacteria were living.  So you are asking the right question.

Welcome Del!

 

Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community!  I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics.  There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to get in there and start asking questions.  Everyone is quite happy to help out new members--no question is too basic. 

 

A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Home page.  You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.

 

Please participate and check in with us every day!  We are constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.

 

Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.
