A beginners experience with aquaponics and fish farming. Curent tank set up. Curent tank set up. My second Aquaponic Set up. I was in total frustration not getting my first system running until I found Morning Star Fishermen,. I took a one Day Seminar, and Their methods were a-little different then the Austrians. Morning Star used Deep Water Culture. Lant roots are suspended over oxygenated the Fish water). Knew I was having trouble deciding what to do. Most of them do Deep Water Culture. Cut in a 4.

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: Lessons in Water Chemistry Part III; Phone a Friend; and Resumption of Fish Feeding
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2011/10/lessons-in-water-chemistry-part-iii.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Sunday, October 9, 2011. Lessons in Water Chemistry Part III; Phone a Friend; and Resumption of Fish Feeding. Since last week marked a full month since I last fed the fish, I decided to seek some expert advice on the nitrate levels (and fish feeding). Back in March I attended the University of the Virgin Islands International Aquaponics and Aquaculture Course. Also participated by giving a lecture via a remote link-up to Australia. He said nitrate levels ...

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: January 2011
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Saturday, January 22, 2011. Is Molasses an Iron Chelator? For most people, adding iron is quite simple. Chelated iron is available in most countries at nurseries or from hydroponics suppliers. For most home systems, the amount to add ranges in the teaspoon-measurements range every few months, so it goes a long way. If my PH were the perfect match for the iron absorption profiles and needs of all my plants, this should theoretically work. But as Yogi B...

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: June 2011
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Pipe Change-Out, 5,000 or so additional (legal) workers, Vertical Tower Build (and semi-fail! I decided to change the pipes out, again. Yes, this. Here's a vid describing the change-out where you can also see the puurdy new pipes and fittings, and appreciate the super-duper water flow(! I had added red worms to the system a few weeks (month? Ago, but I also set up some Red Composting Worm bins at home and at the farm with the same b...

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: November 2010
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Minor Surgery, Swirl Filter and PH Woes, Nifty Screens. My swirl filter turned out to be a partial success. That also means it was a partial failure. The problem was with the drain pipes from the tank to the swirl filter. These pipes were a "left-over" arrangement from when I had my system set up with the grow beds emptying into the fish tank. The water returned through these 1" pipes into the tank. Although it only ran for a da...

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: December 2010
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Thursday, December 16, 2010. I finally got around to transferring my water measurements onto a spreadsheet. Bascially, when you have time to do this, you know your system has stabilized! For those that are interested, below are my pH, amonia, and nitrate measurements. Unfortunately, they only go back about two weeks. There were some pretty major disruptions to my system in the time before then ( gravel switch. And then the tank repair job. Every day since...

Farmer Brown's Aquaponics: Oct. 2, 2011 Review of Plant Growth a Month Into Starving Fish; More Lettuce Harvesting
http://farmerbrownsaquaponics.blogspot.com/2011/10/oct-2-2011-review-of-plant-growth-month.html
A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Oct 2, 2011 Review of Plant Growth a Month Into Starving Fish; More Lettuce Harvesting. There is not a whole lot to report this week. I harvested 24 fully grown lettuce heads this week plus 3-4 not-so-fully grown ones. This is becoming a regular occurrence now, which is oddly disappointing. I guess the novelty is gone! Anyway, I'll have to do some more digging around, but I am not too worried. Fish are cold blooded, do not ha...

A weekly (or so) journal of my aquaponics system. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Plans, plans, plans, and chile peppers. It's been a super long time since I posted an update. I can sum up why in three words: work and holidays! Anyway, things are back to normal, whatever that is. To sum up what's happened since my last update in as short a space as possible:. I am now growing red chili peppers and those are doing great so far. Fruit is setting! So that's basically it. Below are some videos highlighting s...
