Aquaponics : RG420
Aquaponics : Growbed Seven and The Cherry tomatoes
With other cherry tomato plants being overdosed by our onion-pepper spray and growing very slowly, this cherry tomato plant started to contribute 600g tomatoes per week. This round the production is being impacted deeply. For your information, our price per 100g is stay at Rm2.
Never overdose your plants... :)

Aquaponics : Growbed Four
The leafy veggies are picking up their pace in growbed Four. Compare to those leafy veggies from RG420, the Growbed (media based) is faster than the gutter system.
There are also two ladyfingers in it...

Aquaponics : Algae attack
... Algae built up in the big blue tank ( previously called duckweed tank) due to the ebb and flow failure in growbed seven 2 days ago. What we have done's cover up half of the tank and monitor for few days.
Heard that, overwhelming algae growing will cause DO issue especially at night...

Aquaponics : RG420 - Revived the Lane one
Have taken the Duckweed out from lane one and currently we are trying to plant more veggies on RG420. Hopefully will see more green here in future.
Looks at the Sansevieria we have now? Observed that it has a thicker leaf than those we planted on soil.
There are still many enhancements to follow up on this gutter system with different flow methods.

We are using the fish poops from the mechanical filter to fertilized the one from the soil.

Aquaponics : Water Filter for Gutter System - Deployment
After dealing with the 10 litre (in 16 days) fish poop in previous deployed radial swirl filter, have added a small Biofilter in the RG420, it is now in our radar.
We are trying to save cost and try to use what we have in the system currently. Thus, our setup is slightly different from what it supposed to be.

Aquaponics : Luffa : Not Yet Ending Story
It has been Five months growing in the main system, the luffa is still fruiting even though the growbed has been clogged by its root. We have no idea when it is gonna stop producing and we gonna continue having it in the system.
Anyway, there is also another luffa growing in growbed One.

Aquaponics : First post for the 2016
Let's have the first update on the main System for the year 2016.
We have 'moved' in the fishes mostly tilapia. Would think that the amount we have now is over the limit of our fish tanks and growbeds. Anyway, we will slowly move them off to New tanks when time comes.
In year 2016, our target is grow more to supply for our family consumption. To archive this we will need to revise our strategy from time to time.
