Greetings TC, thanks for the heads up on the business name where these towers can be had, and more importantly a place where I can speak to someone first hand about the products. I already took a look at their site and will give them a call tomorrow. You have a good looking system; how many fish do you keep in your tank? I took a look at the link for your feed system; I had envisioned a (rough) similar concept with pvc pipe and plastic disc/plates. It is good to see the thought process was in…

<p> I don't know if the Skygardens towers are part of the Aquaponics operation or just part of their Hydroponics because they do both last I knew (though I haven't checked that info lately.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am using some of Nate's Zipgrow towers and they can take unfiltered water though you do have to check the delivery system on occasion if you are sending un-filtered water. Let me see if I can get you a link to a trick I developed for keeping my tower feeds from blocking.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aquaponiclynx.com/tower-flow" target="_blank">Tower Flow</a></p>
<p>I was about to give up on them for backyard use until I discovered my idea.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Zipgrow towers have an amazing extra bonus when it comes to commercial operation. Unhook the tower and take the whole thing to market and let the customers pick their own fresh greens or herbs and sell by weight!!!! Saves on packaging/processing costs and if it doesn't sell, take the tower back and hang it back into the system.</p>
<p>Nate has come up with some beautiful store displays and I'm sure others could be devised quite easily too. the towers without any water circulation can keep quite well in a walk in cooler but if the store display has a little pump and water tank the crops will stay nice in the store on display for quite some time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a photo of my new 300 gallon system though not all the towers are planted out.</p>

Good morning Terri, I have seen this video as well. Thank you for your efforts. What I am trying to do is this: I would like to use the Tower Growing LLC towers with a aquaponics application. I would like to use a top feed system with a bottom drain back to the fish tanks. Nate Storey has a similar type of system, but is using Zip Towers.

Good morning Terri, I have seen this video as well. Thank you for your efforts. What I am trying to do is this: I would like to use the Tower Growing LLC towers with a aquaponics application. I would like to use a top feed system with a bottom drain back to the fish tanks. Nate Storey has a similar type of system, but is using Zip Towers. My question to the community is relating to this type of application with the Tower Growing LLC towers; has anyone tried it, and if so how did it work for them? I have written to the company with questions about this type of application information and have not received any communication back to date. If I am not able to purchase these towers alone; It might be that I will have to build a prototype, do test to find what meets my application needs, and construct them myself. I have done much mold tooling and reproductions in the marine end of my business and will find what works and manufacture my own towers if I am in need of doing so. I am already planning on constructing other parts of the systems I will be using to meet my specific application needs . This is off the tower subject but I am in the northeast and one of the systems I have already put a design together for is insulated solar radiant heat fish tanks with phase shift material coring that will allow me to keep my fish in a warmer environment then their surroundings. IE- 55 degree earthen insulated room environment / 75 degree tanks. Mitchell<br/>
