Comment by Clint Martineau on February 20, 2016 at 8:00pm: Looking to expand my system, does anyone have a connection for IBC totes?

Comment by Don Cole on January 19, 2016 at 3:47pm: Kari, I just sent you a friend invite. If you accept it I can message you to make arraingements for the IBC's.

Comment by Kari on January 19, 2016 at 3:00pm: HI Don!

I'm trying to get into aquaponics. If you're looking into giving the IBC's away, I'd love to come pick them up! Let me know when you are available.

Thanks,

Kari

Comment by Don Cole on January 18, 2016 at 11:37am: If anyone is interested I have two (275 gal.) IBC's to give away just pick them up. They are cut for FT and GB one has a bazillion holes in it. It was used as a screen for washing gravel. If you are interested let me know I am in the northwest valley near 67th ave and Happeyvalley Rd.

Comment by Dr. George B. Brooks, Jr. on December 8, 2015 at 10:06am: Now taking it down for the winter, this system that produced 210 pounds of food in 7 months. Also the foliage extending up over the tank on the left hand side is a luffa that trailed out of the tank, climbed up and took over that tree. It produced about 40 pounds of fruit before it was done.

Comment by Dr. George B. Brooks, Jr. on October 31, 2015 at 12:02pm: Just some cool pics from AGS-166 aquaponics at Mesa Community College (Mesa Az). P.S. We have been asked if we give tours? The answer is yes. Just inbox me.
