MY PASSION STARTED after reading an article on aquaculture in the Farmers Weekly, a popular magazine here in South Africa.
I started out with absolutely no experience in growing plants or breeding fish
In 2006 I started in my garage with 250 Tilapia I kept for 200 days. (At first I kept them in one dam. As they grew I had to add another dam.)

I have started a group for South African AP members to share concepts, sources of materials etc.  Please have a look and join if you think it will help.

Nice article in BYAP magazine!  I enjoyed reading about the evolution of your system

Hi Francois.  I see your thread, but I don't know what you the posts "2007 the design and building of my system and 2008 january 28" are.  Maybe if you sent me a link.  But the best thing to do would probably be just to cut and  paste from those posts into your forum topic, I would think...

Francois, your photos are right where they should be.  I think you are fine now.

Where is your post now?  I don't see anything under new forum...

Francois, I'm sorry that you thought that, even for a moment!  We are happy to have you here as part of this community!  Take care.

Hi Francois.  Kobus left the community about a week ago, and also left Facebook.  These were for personal reasons having nothing to do with you, so don't worry!  He needs to cut all ties with aquaponics for a while, but we hope to have him back some day.  He's a good guy and I hope you get to meet him.
