Found the little buggers all over my strawberries this morning, Since I run those in a NFT I thought I pull them out and put them under the water for 1/2 a day. Anyone have any luck with this…Continue

Since I was responsible for a sizable kill here at work last Friday I figure I'd let others know where I went wrong. Realize that I am in a much different system(flow through) than most of you folks…Continue

- I work for West Virginia University's Extension Service. Currently we are working on developing a flow through system culturing trout, that also functions aquaponically. The long term goal of the project is to not only find additional profits for West Virginia trout farmers, but also to improve our waste water's quality. We aim to have a net zero effect on use of spring water.

Hi Matthew,
Do you have any of the free IBC containers left?(dye) I am looking up your town on mapquest to see how far it is. Contact me @ paintinoil@aol.com Thanks!
Matthew, I am currently only using a 55 gal drum split sideways. (My first attempt at aquaponics) Where are you located ? Thanks, Doug in Elizabethtown KY
Hi Matthew,
the greenhouse film is an ETFE-film, available under the trade name F-Clean from Asahi Glass Greentech in Japan. I have a good friendship to the F-Clean product manager of Asahi Glass. If you are interested, I can organize a collective order - other Aquapons are interested too.

Greetings from the penthouse. I'm ready to rock and roll here in the tropics.

Hi Matt,
Nice to meet you here in AP. I could only wish for the convince and support of an extension program. Oh how I wish I could again work in a civilized environment but that's what happens when one decides to do research at the source of 3rd world problems.
PS where did you get you flats/ rafts?
Matthew,
I'm a researcher at University of Wyoming in addition to owning Bright Agrotech. I just ran across you. I'd like to set you up with some towers at some point- both my business partner and I are country kids- and our goal is to make farming more profitable and accessible for young people. I love that you're working with FFA and if there's anything we can do to help, let me know. My specialties are agroecology, agronomy, niche markets/marketing and equipment design.
