Electronica Aquaponica: I'm Back
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2013/03/im-back.html
Sunday, 3 March 2013. I'm sorry for not updating for so long. The company I worked with just gone bust so I was busy closing my work as well as worrying what I'm going to do next. For now, I'm all free with nothing to do all day so I'll start updating my progress on here again. 6 weeks isn't it? Yup just over 6 weeks.a very long time in aquaponics. Take a look at what my growbed has turned into. On the other side of the growbed, the Selom is marking its territory. Best of all, it is flowering.a lot!

Electronica Aquaponica: January 2013
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 20 January 2013. New Plants on the Bed. And finally, my wife bought a bunch of Selom. Water Dropwort/ Water Parsley) from the wet market. It was pretty hard to get it so I'm very happy. After sorting I managed to get a few cutting which already have some roots. I planted it around the mint bush. Hopefully it will grow well and provide us with endless supply of fresh leafy goodness. Monday, 14 January 2013. Look at the bulging eye, bruised/ reddish around it. Spirulina based fish food! Spirulina i...

Electronica Aquaponica: September 2012
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 September 2012. Luckily I have some 2x4 wood leftovers from the table so I attached it to the side of the table to get the 'extrusion' needed for the post to clear the grow bed's top. I let the shade to have and extra overhang to the front and the back to provide extra protection during the sun is low on the horizon. I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. Here is the picture if you stand in front of it. I also found a wild tekukur ( Spotted Dove. So what's up next? Looks like the green algae ha...

Electronica Aquaponica: November 2012
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 November 2012. Over two month now, I think I should document what I have done right and what is done wrong.I think. Stones in the fish tank. Pump with variable pressure. With no experience, you might need to experiment on water in and water out from the grow bed to get the automatic syphon working, this kind is invaluable. Different kind of fish. I should have wait for the grow bed to mature because of (1) above. Then only it is suitable to start using pre filter. Using pebbles in grow bed.

Electronica Aquaponica: LECA @ Hydroton @ Hydrokorrel
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2012/12/leca-hydroton-hydrokorrel.html
Tuesday, 25 December 2012. LECA @ Hydroton @ Hydrokorrel. It was a long Christmas holiday and finally we can visit my wife's parents in Kuala Lumpur. It has been 4 month since we last visited them. Of course I've been waiting for this moment to get the thing that I've longing for all this while, the Hydroton@LECA! And really cheap too as compared to the pebbles I used in the grow bed. 1/3 of the second bag filled the grow bed easily. So I still left with plenty of LECA for my next project. Some of the pe...

Electronica Aquaponica: Another Death
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2013/01/another-death.html
Sunday, 6 January 2013. Saturday morning I did a head count on the fish and found 8 tilapias still swimming happily. Well the dead fish is not a tilapia after all. It was one of my Koi. The dead one is the golden white Koi. Cause of death is still unknown. Will look for replacement Koi as this fish add colours to the tank. In another uninteresting news, the seeds I sown haven't show any positive result, yet. I will try another plant this weekend if the condition were not improved. LINKS YOU MIGHT LIKE.

Electronica Aquaponica: 4th Month Update
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2013/01/4th-month-update.html
Monday, 14 January 2013. Today, my system reached 4 months old. A Tilapia died yesterday, one of the bigger ones, for no apparent reason. I was worried about my Koi because I noticed what seems to be haemorrhaging near the gill area. So I googled and found what could be a VHS infection. VHS or Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia. Look at the bulging eye, bruised/ reddish around it. The seeds however haven't germinate at all so I made a new plan. Checkout below picture:. Spirulina based fish food!

Electronica Aquaponica: New Plants and Pre-Filter Repacked
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-plants-and-pre-filter-repacked.html
Monday, 31 December 2012. New Plants and Pre-Filter Repacked. Happy new year peeps! I'm having another long weekend, until tomorrow to be exact. So I use the opportunity to clean and repack my filter. I found the filter is too dirty about a month ago but purposely leave it to let more waste into the grow bed in the hope that it will do good to the plant. I didn't see any significant result on that so today I decided to clean the filter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). LINKS YOU MIGHT LIKE.

Electronica Aquaponica: March 2013
http://electronicaaquaponica.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 10 March 2013. I didn't do anything last week apart from feeding the fish. So here is an update of what an aquaponics system can achieve in just one week time. The mint bush is conquering half of the bed, again. So I will trim it today or tomorrow. And the cucumber gone mad! And we will be enjoying the fruit of our labour (yeah I worked 'really hard' to grow this :p) soon. Sunday, 3 March 2013. 6 weeks isn't it? On the other side of the growbed, the Selom is marking its territory. This is because...
