What is Aquaponics? Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrients. This is an environmentally friendly, natural food-growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers.

The weather has been great here for the last few days. It is hard to believe this is the last day of Jan. I have been giving a lot of attention to outdoor activities. I did figure out how I wanted to set up the cages for my system. It will require some lumber to support the grow beds, but it will work. The cages are cut, and 3 out of 4 tanks are cut and scrubbed. The first rain day I will head to town and pick up the plumbing parts to start piping. I still haven't come up with a pump set up. I will look at the pet store when I go to town. The Harbor Freight pumps don't have a head pressure chart, at least not that I can find. I like the prices, but if it wont do the job, price don't matter. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.
