    Hi everybody I have been gone for a long time. I had things going close to cycling then a job took us all over the western us. So now I'm out of the loop. Now I have set up a raft 4'x8'x7" and have it cycling without fish I added ammonia and waiting on the test kit to arrive. My question is what is, can I use coconut fiber in my net pots? I have about 450 us gal cycling.

    Hi all! I also have an aquaponics farm with basil, I grow a pond with telapia and then everything goes through the drum filter and btofilter to the trays with aquaponics.

    Here is a photo of my farm.

    And then in the news feed about aquaponics, they posted my farm. Very unexpected and pleasant for me

    Hello. It has been some time since I have contributed. By the end of World War II urban victory gardens grew 40% of the food in the United States. To our knowledge this may have the last successful wide spread urban agriculture urban agriculture business model. For a moment people wanted to recreate them during the pandemic  but only had limited success. Most homes isn cities no longer have the newly 400 ft2 needed for a classic Victory Garden that produced about 200 lb annually. So we thought it would be cool to see if we could recreate victory garden production in a small space using a little 21st century magic. Aquaponics. It seems so far we have been successful producing up to 400 lbs annually so far. (PS the fish used were catfish and tilapia
