Hey Dave, PLEASE message me to get plans started for the tour here next month.

Dave said - one of the places on the Tucson  Tour had two 1/2 barrels for grow beds. It does not matter large or small.. people want to see where they can start and where they can go with AP.

I absolutely agree.  Had I only seen elaborate systems like mine I would have never considered aquaponics.

At first my intentions were to build a cheap and simple system using IBC's, but as I began to research aquaponics my enthusiasm took me to a place I never would have imagined going.  I think my system is a bit over the top, but I still have the IBC's and I'm looking forward to putting a very simple tank/growbed together so others can see the rewards of a weekend project.

Can I include you Bob C. for a place we stop at for the tour in April?

my auto siphon is simple and easy to maintain.

Now that I have it perfected, I have not had a problem on my last 5 tanks with auto siphons. I purchase all of my parts from Ace Hardware. If you are interested, I will walk you thru it. It is one of my points of interest when I tour people around my facility and greenhouse.

Dave I wonder if you would be willing to share your info here?

My siphon is working well, but I've become very interested in learning more about what it is that makes a good siphon.  I had to work way too hard at perfecting mine.

Went back to IE, seems to work now.

I tried to order the dvd's packet from pratical aquaponics. Had trouble the first try because the bank denied the international charges. after I got every settled I never heard from them again. Luckily, there was no charge made. Anyone familiar with their dvd's if so is it worth pursuing them? I like Murray's youtube clip and learned a lot from him but then I also learn tons from you guys.

Dave, kudos on your papayas. I felt your passion about growing exotic fruit trees when we were there. Thanks for experiment them for us all. I would like to do that as well someday. Have you tried Quinoa? its very nutritious. I ordered a kit from amazon. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have posted my bell siphon tests and have drawn a conclusion.
