Congratulations on the farm...

Thanks for the welcome TCLynx... Don't know much about planting or keeping fishes but I'm a nerd, so I can learn anything and can follow instructions :)  Looks like a good place to start.  Looking forward to learning with everyone here and be able to be self-sustaining. Being in FL, we're also looking into solar power.

Thank you for the welcome.  Still collecting materials but hope to be planting in a couple of weeks. 

So Far So Good!! I've been at it now for about 2 months. Learned alot and still learning. It is like WAR!! Each little battle brings you closer to Veggies !!

Later.............Chuckeroo

Congrats TC!  That's incredible news and the farm looks beautiful.  Couldn't happen to a better aquapon!  

Thank you! Thank you  very much for your welcome!

Yes that is year round.  We have a 300 foot well.  But we will start off probably with bluegill or tilapia but I really do not like tilapia or catfish and too me they taste much the same.  But maybe a farmed catfish would not have the mud taste as wild that live in the mud.  We are very new at this.  We are currently more into fowl.  We have 7 turkeys, 8 guinea fowl, 8 hens, 30 coturnix quails and 8 rabbits.

I told Ed that exact thing but he figured that the well water is in the low 50s and could keep things cool or use some peltiers as cooler but I am fine with perch or bluegills.  Anyone adding crayfish to their tanks?

thank you for the welcome.

Thanks.  We are new to Florida also, but it is a great place for aquaponics.

Thanks for putting your hand out.  I'm not sure what I'll be doing with this, just checking it out, seems like the right thing to be doing at the right time.  Would like to hear from Floridians to hear how it can work.  I'm seeing greenhouses set-ups, is that for the northerners only?    

Thank you! Your welcome is very much appreciated!

Thanks, looking forward to getting started...

Thanks for the warm welcome! My husband and I have been 'lurking' around as we've set up our first test system. Fabulous information and such giving people here. We are anxious to become part of your community here!

Only lost one tilapia last night in that cold snap. Thanks for helping me with information. It's warmer today (69) so I don't think any more triage is necessary. 

Thanks for your feedback on my forum questions. I did not realize you where so close to me. I am in Tavares, FL. It is a big benefit to have a knowledgeable local supplier. I would like to visit you at the Mt Dora Market.

 Lol! Well from the looks of your website, the craziness is paying off nicely. :)  Great job you are doing over there!

Thanks for the friend invite TC.
