For very small applications like the bobbing bird that works well. Which is more about evaporation rather than pumping. No one has ever got it to pump water. ...
Hi Travis - I thanked you and Paul Range for your answers in an earlier E-mail, but also included a question that probably got lost in the body of it. I was...

Val, I use 1in PVC pipe and fittings throughout the system with the exception of the pump from the fish tank to the dump barrel and found that 1/2in gives a...
Thanks, Travis, I appreciate your patient answers. I think my final goal is about what you show in the Equip pictures in North Carolina. May I ask how many...
Thanks, Paul. I just realized I overlooked your manual in the files. I am downloading it now. I appreciate your patient help very much, Val Cassenti ... ...
Hello Floyd, If your fish are eating the zoo plankton as fast as it can build up then try raising it in other containers (5gal buckets or kiddie swim pools...

Fey, The only time that I ever had a problem with moisture related things is when I did not open the greenhouse up for a five day period due to weather. ...
Is it a saltwater system? They need a saltwater environment. I figured out what killed the 1,000,000 strong population of sea monkeys... ammonia. The ph was...
I have looked up the price of electricity and you are quite right, Travis: for a 6 watt pump the consumption really is negligible. I have replaced the original...
this may be a somewhat silly thought, but as I like trying to think out of the box, I post it anyway. There have been lots of suggestions as to what would be...
Hey Val, As far as the fish go it is not specific. Tilapia, goldfish, carp, catfish, etc... can all be grown in an aquaponic system. The key to it all is...

Hello Lucile, Tilapia can be grown froma 3" fingerling to a 3/4lb. fish in six months. If you stock them in May and harvest the end of Oct you should have some...

Michael, I try not to glue too many parts in my systems as it makes it handy to take apart to clean once a year. I do glue the siphon parts as sucking air...
Michael, You will have to play with the holes a bit to get the distrubition equal. Start off with 3/8 holes toward the front and work your way up in size on...
