How did you find us?
Aquaponic Gardening Blog
Are you an aquaponic gardener already?
Yes
If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply)
1000 gallon ferrocement pond, which balances our acidic rain with it's alkaline properties, with a starter batch of small Koi and Comets, and 4 wild Tilapia. The bed is an 20"x8'x11" deep raised bed which gravity drains to pond, and hosts a colony of India Blue composting worms. Even though Hawaii seems like an ideal place for growing food, it's chilly at 3600 ft, and rain-soaked soil makes it difficult. I'm hoping aquaponics is the answer.
How old is your system?
6 mos - 1 yr
What type of fish do you grow with? (select all that apply)
Goldfish, Koi, Tilapia, Catfish
How big is your fish tank?
1000 gallons
Please tell us something else about yourself.
Love to play in the ocean- surfing, free diving, fishing, kayaking, and learning to sail.

    Thanks Shawn. We are making a business out of aquaponics based on community demand. How is your system going? Last month I added a gravel bed and could not be happier with it. Have you had any problems with your gravel clogging or have the worms been doing their job? Any luck with wassibi?
