Choosing a tank suitable for aquaponics is probably a no brainer. Many people grab the first thing that suits their budget, but not all tanks are the same and some can positively damage your health and kill all your fish. We take a look at choosing the best tanks for your budget with...

The first thing they tell you at Green Sky Growers when you enter their greenhouse is “Don’t try this at home!” And you wouldn’t want to try it at home if you saw how intensively they grow their fish. Growing fish intensively at great volume is fraught with difficulties...

Living in the cold snows of Connecticut and wishing to do aquaponics doesn’t stop Rob Torcellini of Bigelow Brook Farm from building an innovative greenhouse. You can watch Rob’s construction methods and learn a few tips along the way from this well documented 9 part Youtube series...

Aquaponic Education in schools is taking off around the world but its not often you see a new hybrid technology installed that combines two very different aquaponics systems – floating raft and gravel media together in the one system. This  aquaponics system pictured was recently...

Here’s something you might not have considered. Duckponics. It may not be for everyone, but if you keep ducks and you want to do aquaponics without fish then perhaps you might consider this interesting alternative. Aleece Landis better know as TCLynx on various aquaponics forums apart...

How quickly does time fly? Since building and testing his innovative toteponics system based on CHOP2 technology we caught up with Aquaponics guru Murray Hallam to ask how its all been going? Murray immediately lights up with his usual enthusiasm, “Can you believe it – its 18...

Recently in Sydney we met Charles Bacon from Ecolicious who builds Aquaponics systems that are cleverly disguised to look like natural ponds. A pond builder for many years, Charles likes to use as many easy to find components as possible. Some of his designs are quite clever too. The...
