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.

I am still picking tomatoes, green peppers, chili peppers, mustard, and basil. I haven't pulled the chili peppers yet, there are still a lot of peppers on them. They are going to have to go soon as I need the room for the lettuce. I picked up a timer in town today so I can begin working on the strawberry towers. I have about 8 catfish left, I moved them to a tank that is a few degrees warmer. I don't know if they will survive or not, they are pretty stressed. I talked to a plumber today, and he is going to help me try to come up with some kind of tank heating system. It has to be cheap to operate, and not contain any material that would be toxic to the fish and plants.
