Anyone doing aquaponics in North Carolina or nearby?

[James R. Garreau]

I have decided to do the grow bed Continous Flow. If you have this and are located  in my area It would be of great interest to me to see your system.

 

 

 

   Thanks

Hey Jim,

Where in NC are you? It's a big state!

[James R. Garreau]

I am north of Charlotte, in Statesville, about 15 minutes north of Interstate 40.  I will be willing to travel to see your operation no matter where you are in or around North Carolina.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Jim

I am in Greenville and have just dismantled my simple IBC w/media filled grow bed on top. I am extremely excited to be making a Raft system tomorrow! I am going to use the IBC for the fish tank, home made swirl filter, a 8.5 ft by 2.5 ft grow bed, down to a sump and pumping back up to the fish tank. I guess I will let it run for a couple weeks to work out any kinks so it will be ready when South East Ponds guy comes to greenville so I can get some channel cats from him.

This is geting to be a very addictive hobby, hope to get good at it someday.

Morning Tim,

Hope your revised raft system is going well.

I have been wanting to do a flood and drain media system.

I plan on starting this soon. When the weather warms.

It would be great if I could view yours so that I could get a better idea on how to assemble mine.

Are you located in Greeneville Nc or Sc

I am just north of Statesville Nc 

Thanks Jim

I'm in NC, a good 3 hours from you I guess. I didn't realize it was going to rain ALL day today. That has but a damper on my construction, dang it!

Are you doing the flood and drain like in this video:

Tim,

It has stopped raining here 10:45 am. Maybe clearer weather is headed your way. Tomorrow is going to be high 60.

I tried that you tube video it came up 404 not listed. Have another idea?

Thanks Jim
