Please tell us something else about yourself.: My wife Sarah and I started this system at our home in downtown Orlando where we are working to establish sustainable residential farming in urban areas. We learned basic aquaculture/aquaponics from the Morningstar fisherman of Dade City, Florida.

I only have a little over 100gal. to work with. Please let me know what is up. I can pick them right up if there not to big.

At 7:03pm on March 15, 2013, Ned Berndt said…: Thanks Robert...its just a small test system, 300 gallon tank, 50 tilapia, 32 cu ft media bed and 64 cu ft DWC trough plus red wiggler worms in the media and a greenhouse covering to keep out the rain this Summer. I like your pictures as well...where are you located?

I may be looking for some tilapia next week if you still have them. Do you know anyone looking for lettuce rafts? I'm looking at Beaver Plastics out of Canada, product is very good and reasonably priced, but the shipping is outrageous.

He acts like all the others in the stable tank. Think he is getting promoted to a breeder no dinner plat for him. maybe get a more resilient tilapia.

I am sure that you agree that Aquaponics is the fantastic way to grow both fish and vegetables naturally. Love to see some pictures of your system.

God bless :-)
