I could not be more frustrated, or more elated, with my aquaculture, aquaponics projects. First, the goldfish in the goldfish garden are absolutely smashing. They are tough, hardy fish. The floating raft with greens that I have in the tank is doing so,so. I think the sunlight is a little too indirect and I may [...]

Nitrite Spike. Cloudy Water. Bacterial Infection. Dead fish. Danger, Will Robinson. Danger! That pretty much describes yesterday. It was a life and death struggle. It seemed to come out of nowhere. When I got up yesterday morning the Red Claw Crawfish tank was unusually cloudy. I told B we were going to have to do [...]

We haven’t even started building the system and already have a dilemma. Such is our lives. Sharp Entertainment, producers of shows like “Man Vs. Food” and “Extreme Couponers” are doing a show for National Geographic Channel called, “Doomsday Preppers”. A melodramatic title, to say the least. We have talked with them several times about the [...]

Regular readers are aware that we are in the process of developing an aquaponics gardening system to raise Tilapia and veggies. We are very excited about it and are getting close to set up. We just need to find the right (read, ‘affordable’) greenhouse or hoop house and work out the electrical issues for running [...]
