Comment by Bob Wohl on March 15, 2019 at 9:21am: Anyone know of some tricks to find a slow leak in pond liner? I have a tank I built that has been on a steady drip for about a year now. Its been easy to fill but I feel its getting worse. Lava rock probably got under the pump. I tried letting it drain till it stopped but it never did. Finding a pinhole in black is hard!

Comment by Larry on March 14, 2019 at 9:20pm: Does anyone have some tilapia fingerling they would like to sell i am looking for about 15. I am restarting my system back up. Kind of let it go yo hell with life problems. but now back into it. Please Text me at 602-499-3857 if you can help.

Comment by Michael Malcolm on September 26, 2018 at 4:51pm: Hi Arizona Aquaponic Gardeners! Im headed to AZ tomorrow morning and was hoping to check out some aquaponic gardens/ research tomorrow morning (9/27). I am currently conducting aquaponic research at the University of Maryland and would love to connect with some local gardeners in the Phoenix, Tuscon, and Flagstaff area!

Comment by Rob Simpson on May 17, 2018 at 5:33pm: Larry, I've got some ~1" tilapia available if you are still looking?

Comment by Rob Simpson on April 19, 2018 at 1:27pm: Larry, I've got an active breeder tank. All of my current fingerlings are spoken for, but I'll let you know when the next set of wee ones are released from mommy's mouth.

Comment by Larry on April 18, 2018 at 2:57pm: hello everyone long time no chat. I am looking to buy some more tilapia looking for about 25 fingerlings. anyone know a source?

Comment by Kari Marsh on March 14, 2018 at 7:11pm: So, thanks to John Carlton, formerly of Green Valley, my 'aqua partner' and I are just getting a new garden set up. We changed the foot print a bit from how John had it set up, and basically have a tiered cascading system. SUPER simple! Getting ready to fill 'er up, and then try out the pump and plumbing. Now that we are having warmer nights, we plan to start out with a few gold fish and koi (both my partner and I want to have a few fish we can keep through the winter as pets and they will ultimately go in the lower sump tank) and then move into tilapia once it gets warmer. Anyone have suggestions for first greens to plant? See the attached pic for our garden set up. Appreciate any comments or suggestions...we are both newbies!
