How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately.I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on this email( mabawuah9@aol.com ) for the full details, Have a nice day
It's been such a long time since I've logged in, but I do thank-you for taking the time to respond to my post. I got really discouraged after all the bugs showed up on my lettuce and I didn't know what to do. But I do plan to try again this spring :)
What does PPT translate to. How many pounds per gallon or kgs per liters of salt?
In desperation I put in 500ml of 10 ppm of Colodial silver. The total water in fish tank and resevoir is 660 gallons. I had 100 Tilapia fry in this system and think I have about 70 now. All the veggies appear to be doing well at present especially the tomatoes.
I humanure too! Love brother Jenkins' book. I've written some blogs on that myself. I'm new to aquaponics so I'm going to have to find a new use for my compost. I'm thinking fruit trees? At any rate, nice to meet you. Thanks for the comments on my question.
I started my system with 2 cow feed tubs about 20 gal ea.one grow bed and one fish tank. In 2 days I've added one 40 gal barrel for fish tank and a bath tub for a second grow bed. The original fish tank has now become my sump tank. 3 tomato and 1 flower are in the grow bed and I need more gravel to fill the bath tub. The bell syphons worked well from the start. It takes 6+ minutes to make one complete cycle. Am working to stretch this out a bit more. Been working on the system about a week and yes I am hooked, addicted, just can't get enough.
In designing your hanging ZipGrow Tower systems, how do you keep the supply lines to the towers from clogging. I want to keep maintenance issues to an absolute minimum.
TC... thx 4 the add. I'm major new to aquaponics. I recently started a small DWC system, as I'm gathering as much information as I can. Any advice for a newbie starting in Michigan? Have a wonderful weekend!!
TCLynx, Im new to aquaponics. Ive been looking at everything i possibly can on the internet. It looks like every post i come across, you have commented on. So it is in my opinion that you are the person to ask advice. I live in Ohio and have 5 acres to deal with. I am starting my system with 5 IBC totes. In my barn. I think i can control the temp, but need help with my design. I want to have a full blown aquaponics set up in the summer, and a scaled back version in the winter. Help me please!

I just asked her and she said definitely. Bought quite a few things and your mom kindly gave her some mint.
Hi - my friend in Clermont is Pam Gillmore. I think she toured your facility recently.
TCLynx,
OK, noted on the salt, is that rock salt?

TCLynx,
You stated, "Most fish diseases that people call fungus are actually bacterial infections"
How do I get rid of this on my Tilapia, its killing them off. My veggies are doing fine so far?
