Here is a list of literature we use for aquaponics: International info and forums Backyard Aquaponics Australische DIY site met shop, forum en tijdschrift. Heel veel info maar pas op: in Australië...

What do you think? We're on the right side of winter now. Should we restart our black soldier fly farm? I know our new volunteer Robin is keen to experiment with it...

During the workshop 'healthy soil' at Cityplot I was triggered to look for information about mycorrhizae and other fungi in aquaponics. Unfortunately there's nothing to find, really. Some people say...

I found some tables on the internet about feeding channel catfish. I hope it says something about Wels as well. So I made an excel with feeding quantities. It's not entirely consistent, that's...

This is my description of the topic.

Because our rainbow trout have been so successful I started to search for some info, I thought it could be an idea for the future. Then I found this super interesting document about trout farming.

Hello everyone, I made a Facebook event for the next workshop on February 22. If you all would like to share it on your facebook page, that would be great! Here is the link to the event: https:...

Hi all, I noticed on our monitoring page that KH is extremely high. This change occurred after our massive water changes so I looked up the values on Waternet, it looks like our water is very hard.

Now and then I make a new attempt to find a comprehensible list of water quality values for our Wels. I haven't found it yet, but I did find something else: those panga fillets we've been eating...

Here is the first setup for the planting/harvesting plan, I plan to start at the same time with the nursery because we need to grow from seed more plants and with removing old plants from our systems.

I used Bacillus thuringiensis and was very usefull for most of the problems. It is a gram positive spore-forming which occurs naturally in the environment, soil and plant surfaces. Its importance...

I found a interesting symposium about aquaculture and aquaponics that will be in leiden 17-21 of June 2013. Maybe this would be interesting for us? or even show our findings. http://www.grosci2013.

It is very important in the aquaponics project to store all the data we collect. The data could be used for research. If something goes wrong in one of the systems we may find a cause in the data we...

I read the following article in the Independent of London with some concern, at the moment there is discussion over approving the genetically modified 'Aquabounty' salmon, for dinner tables in the...

If a power failure occurs a battery backing up might be a solution, but this battery needs to hold on for at least one hour. Wiki on UPS - What can a typical UPS (uninterruptible power supply...

We have been doing a lot of water quality testen but with te test we have now it's a pain in the ass with all the different liquids. I have been looking for a digital test that can do all in one. HP...

I found an article in which dried oyster mushrooms are described as an additive in catfish feed, with a beneficial effect on their immuno system..So whenever we produce too many mushrooms, we know...

I thought it would be nice to have a topic for funny things. I'll start with a video that's not funny at all, but interesting anyway...

Tyler currently works on making a new modular aquaponics design. He already decided to make a big system (didn't you, Tyler?). Let's give him some inspiration! Here's mine: a TED talk from Britta...

The moment I started out with aquaponics, one of my hobbies has been to search the web for nice aquaponics setups. I know it's not very economic to have a desktop system, but still, I have a tendency...

I would like to know more about the lighting in our system. I know it is red and blue LED light, but what about the intensity (in μmol/ m2/s ) The pink light is very fairytale like, and probably...

Look at this... All the nice CO2 just disappeared. Clearly someone entered the tent at 3 o'clock this afternoon, they stayed around 15 minutes and as you see, they didn't close the door properly.

Some plants in our system are having a lot of aphids others don't attract them at all. Now what should I do? Murray Hallam suggests to use molasses with a drop of detergent for an even spread.

Should we get European or African catfish? During our trip to the fish farm we learned a lot about the African catfish, that's a pro. We also have Michel at our side. But one of those things we...

Last sunday we saw mysterious symptoms on some of the plants. The leaves look like they miss all their chlorophyl, but the fibers are still there. Johan says these are typical 'burning marks'. But...
