OASIS - Open Aquaponics Synergy Integrated Systems or Non-RAS systems for dummies

[M Cosmo]

Words can be fun but sometimes are a poor tool for understanding a vision or concept. As you many know I have an interest in opening up the boxes we build around our mental comfort zones. Many of us are always thinking out of the box or in our case out of the tank. Bar the limitations of our environment - Scare water etc. Many of us can afford to consume not waste some water for our gardens. With that in mind I thought it might be a good idea to look at what has and could be done with an Open Aquaponics system. Sooo to continue in my now tradition of rambling and my stream of consciousness here is a little fun with words for an Acronym for an Open polyculture Aquaponics system. I only cited what I felt was relevant.

see the end of this post.

So what is the point of the verbose post you may ask. I am. We all do some sort of water change when things need to be maintained, fixed or treated. Maybe there is a lesson or idea to be learned from our kindred spirits of early adopters. I have created another posting about the ARK and its evolution to the home it has grown today. So check out the post about New Alchemy Aquaculture. I have posed a question to Earle & Hilde of The Great Work. They now live in the ARK-Home Bioshelter.
