- Moved to California last year. Have been slowly putting together a dutch bucket system with fish added to the resevoir last month. My plants were doing poorly until I added fish. It gets real hot out here, 90 - 110 since a month ago. Typical dessert hot days and cool nights.

Im happy that you found us and want to let you know if I can do anything for your cause, its commendable! If you wanting to do this aquaponic thing on a large scale I would suggest you talk to Dr. George Brooks. I have some other aquaponic friends in the Prescott/Chino Valley area that would help with your endeavor.

It seems you and I have a lot in common, I too have been following Will Allen's farm since my beginning. I would highly suggest you get his book- The Good Food Revolution.

I want to share with you my goals now and in the future. Im going to be working with a school district putting gardens in schools. They have dirt plots up now but I want to incorporate an aquaponic system in schools without gardens. When the time is right, I will be doing something on a larger scale first here in Phoenix and then in Show Low to provide schools.
Have you at least started raising fish in an aquarium?
