Where to get aquaponics training in Vancouver, Canada?

[Ng Dong Wei]

Hello fellow aquaponist:

I was looking for a place to learn aquaponics where I live, especially if it has a hands-on component. Not sure that there are many places in Canada that teach aquaponics for the backyard aquaponist. I did stumble upon an upcoming workshop held by David Sayson that I think might be worthwhile. What do you guys think?

Learn, Sustain, Grow
Hands-on Workshop

This one day workshop includes a morning of instruction and an afternoon of hands on construction of a backyard system. Topics include:

• System Design: best practices and optimal ratios
• System Cycling: starting up a new system without stressing your fish
• Maintaining your system: day to day operation including water quality testing, pH management, oxygen and other parameters
• Plants: from seeding to harvest, troubleshooting, nutrients
• Fish: how to maintain healthy happy fish; good husbandry practices
• Construction: hands on build of a hybrid backyard system that includes media and raft growing area.
