Buku tentang aquaponics

I noticed something today while looking over projekbukuhijau's blog traffic. Seems there are readers put there who was redirected here from googling for "buku tentang aquaponics".

Hmm that is actually a good idea. With alot of things nowadays has gone SOHO, why can't publishing also go SOHO?. Sure I am no expert in aquaponics nor do some of the blogs on the subject that I frequents, but they do provide valuable information or arleast a good read.

So what say you? Would you purchase a book from a blogger on a subject of common interest?

New filter media arrangement

I am trying new filter media arrangement this week. First box is empty to act as reservoir before gravity push the water down into the next compartment containing course media and next to fine media and lastly to my biofilter and coral bits buffer.

I am also using the extra ceramik balls I have to weight down both the course and fine media filters.

I am also reducing the water to half so that the filter can keep up better.

Saturday is filter cleaning day

Gosh it has only been a week and it has became that dirty. The fishes has been growing nicely to a good size and of course pooping a lot..

I am going to try out some adjustment to the filter media arrangement today to see if that would help but honestly I think I need to start working on a vortex filter soon to saperate out the solid before they go into the mechanical filter.

Enjoy the photos!

Injury

I dismantled the filterbox and was cleaning the indivdual filters this morning when I turned the wrong way and threw my back out.

Ouchhh!!! Now I am pn bed rest and hopefully will recover fast.

System in trouble

I am not sure if it is related but after the growbed was attacked, I do not have any plants in the growbed and the water quality went straight to hell. I found a dead catfish today mybe a sign of the poor water quality.

Dirty dirty dirty! It is in a dire need of filter thorough cleaning and maybe I will need to clean the fish tank as welll.

Should I DIY a mouse trap?

Seems easy enough to construct from pieces of plastics. What do you think?

THIS MEANS WAR!!!!!

The growbed was raided again by rats last night!!! They left only the mint possibly to mock me..

This mean nuclear war on you rats!!!!
