Have the water filter shifted to the main System attempting to have the water filtered;however, put on hold as another idea popped out, think of testing on the new individual pumps set for the growbed. The purpose is to see how effective the growbeds in filtering the water.
My guess will be the growbeds will get dirty and that might be the reason we should start planting more from now on.
Just DIY a mini swirl filter for the gutter System to replace the conventional filter.
Due to Our setup, it might not be as good as it should be as our inflow is actually coming from the water pump rather than directly from the fish tank. Anyway, let's observe it.
Taken out our Super Good water filter from the duckweed tank and would let it run without filter for observation.
We might place a mini swirl filter in future.
Not to forget the new net cover on top of it...
The coming plan as shared before we will move all the Jade perches into this tank.
Just added 300 tilapia into the main system. Our aquaponics is now getting ready to roll for the year 2016.
Collecting lettuce seeds..while kids to enjoy shaking the bottle...
Have 'fallback' the water outflow for taller tank (Swirl Filter) to the original setup to ensure faster flow to the main tank. This is to cater for more aeration for the incoming 100 tilapia.
Have one of the cherry tomato plant lifted from the growbed.
We have now a ladyfingers and another cherry tomato.
Recently, we have been tight up with infra activity.
Observed that from the main system nutrition inefficiency is worsen, where we have only few fishes and in the rainy season.
We are planning to get more fishes in the coming one or two weeks.
As for the gutter system, we will have another round of shifting its fish tanks before we started to grow again.
Growbed Seven is the most happening growbed we have now in our system...
It consists of plants like cherry tomato, lettuces, and sweet potato leaf.
We are planning to plant a passion fruit in the coming future for our new roof... Passion fruit is always my favorite and hopefully its root system is not as complicated as the luffa.
...still fruiting... up to now, we have 'pulled off' about 47 Luffa from the plant...and now another 13 are hanging around... it doesn't look like it is gonna end soon.
Time to collect seeds for the old lettuces in growbed seven.
Spotted many baby tilapias stranded in the water filter; what we have done was shifting them to the main and taller tank in the main system.
In coming weeks, we will start to deploy more tilapias into the main system as it has been running with few fishes since a month ago.
Ready to use loofah for sale @ aquaponics tanjungsepat dot net.
Rm10 each...
This will be the second last harvest for this season. Anyway, don't think there will be any new plan for this... aquaponically...
From what I have been going thru, the color of loofah is depending on when the luffa is harvested.
For the lighter color loofah, you need to harvest it before it is dried off and turned brown color.
Do correct me if I am wrong...
The water quality after we have growbed five and six cleaned. Let's evaluate the performance for our new design water filters (cost about two buck) a week from now.
