A ten cubic foot bubble bead filter would do the trick, or you could do
this:
1) Excavate 2 earthen basins,...
. snip .
This sounds just like the hydroponic system that I have just dismantled.
Some comment from experience, take em or leave em as you wish.
My system was up and running for four years without trouble except for two pump
failures.
I wouldn't bother putting media around your pump intake, it will simply clog and
become a hassle. Rather screen just small enough to prevent stuff big enough to
damage your pump from getting in.
I would also dispense with the sand, it's not needed if your gravel size is
around a quarter inch or so. You will be amazed at what this gravel will
remove.
I would also not wash it out much, but you may be forced to do so, if a lot of
grit ends-up in the gravel.
If the gravel clogs up with organinc matter, then you need more gravel (more
area not deeper).
As for plants, I haven't found anything that would not grow in this setup.
Subect to the avalability of plant nutrients of-course.
Just some ramblings from a deranged mind.

From: Aquaculture International, Inc., Charles Johnson, President
Aquaculture International, Inc. is a USA non-profit organization dedicated
to the economically sound, environmentally compatable growth of the
aquaculture industry.
NEWS RELEASE
AQUAPONICS COURSE
Aquaponics interest is increasing globally in response to more emphasis on
resource management, sustainability and waste management. It involves
combining of aquaculture and hydroponics for mutual benefit. To help meet
the demand for instruction, a practical course in Aquaponics will be held
in Bryson City, NC, November 6 - 9, 2001.
Lecture and AV presentations will include components of aquaponic systems,
fish and plant selection, balancing fish/plant production for efficiency and
optimum yields, utilizing old farm and other buildings, small scale pilot
projects, systems design, natural pest control, meeting organic standards,
economics, specialty markets for higher profitability and accessing
technical assistance and information.
Sites of interest, including a thriving commercial hydroponic lettuce
greenhouse operation and a watercress production operation utilizing trout
farm effluent water will be visited.
The lead instructor will be Gordon Creaser, who has been involved in
hydroponics for over 40 years and travels world-wide as an aquaponic
consultant. He is well known for his down-to-earth practical advice. In
addition, owners of several successful aquaponic facilities will share
useful information concerning the design and operation of their systems. The
class atmosphere will be informal, allowing plenty of time for questions and
personal attention.

Subject: mixed-sex tilapia supplier?
From: "Paul F. Beglane"
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 05:45:15 -0700 (PDT)
Hi Everyone!
Does anyone know of a vendor who could supply me
with a small batch of mixed sex tilapia? I have a
small aquaponic unit sitting idle, and my employers
want to be able to breed a small number of fish
in-house for display purposes. I use mt- sex-reversed
fish for grow-out so I need to look somewhere new for
a broodstock supplier. The gene line isn't critical to
me- the facility director wants a display, and is
inflexible about having broodfish around, but I'm not
considering getting away from my frankenfish as the
principal source of $$. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Best,
Paul Beglane
Boston, MA

I think the ten cubic foot Bubble Bead Filter sounds like the simplest to
install. The Bubble Bead Filters are very effective in both solids removal
and biofiltration. Additionally, they are very easy to maintain. With the
addition of a UV sterilizer to avoid algae blooms; you can maintain a
chemical free swimming/ pond environment able to sustain fish and plants.

Hi folks,
I live in Northern Virginia and I am seriously thinking of a aquaponics
operation. There is a piece of land with a well available to me and I want
to put on it a large greenhouse (about 4000 sq. ft). In the greenhouse I
want to put a few 1500 gallon tanks and a few growing beds. I have read
just about anything published on the subject in the past few years and came
to the conclusion that an integrated facility is the most ecologically
sound way to go.
I am trying to figure out the planning. How many tanks I should have and
how many growing beds I can hook-up to each tank? How many fish can be
raised in each 1500 gallon tank. Is there any merit to going to
bigger/smaller tanks and just having more/fewer of them?

Andrei,
As a mechanical engineer, I would certainly say the need for planning is
paramount. More importantly, you are not planning a small back yard hobbyist
operation but a commercial enterprise. Marketing is the horse that's going
to drive your cart. Set this in motion first. You mad e a point by saying
what I think is of the greatest factor for many in here is the ecologically
sound practice aquaponics offers.
I had just met with a group to look at an abalone farm on the central
California coast this past Sunday and made note to them about waste stream
management. They directly intake raw sea water for all of their
applications but the waste stream is untreated and is discharged via a vee
ditch into the upper tidal zone. Out on the horizon is concern by the state
and feds to create a waste management policy for aquaculture operations of
this type. My suggestion to them was to use gravity to feed their dulce
juvenile AB food and base for a proprietary AB chow they manufacture) grow
beds which need nitrogen and accelerate the growth process and thus reduce
the BOD. I'll post photos after they are developed.

Andrei,
This is slightly off-topic, but be sure to check zoning before doing
anything. Also have the well water tested
Do not trust anything a
realtor tells you about zoning - GO TALK TO THE ZONING OFFICE! In my
area, you are not allowed to install greenhouses on land zoned for
agriculture and there is a trend to restrict greenhouses in other
parts of the country. I lived in the DC area and N Virginia for 10
years and I know that the art of bureaucracy has been more than
perfected there. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hi to all,
My name is Ron Salyer. I live in Westerville, Ohio and am interested in
aquaponics and especially hydroponics. Accordingly I follow the various
posts by many of you. I am continually empressed with the breadth of
knowlege and hands on expertise expressed by many of you. I also have noted
how kind this group has been to even the dumbest of questions.
Dumbest of questions

help me find a source for an effective but inexpensive very small water

Any ideas out there?

Andrei,
I too am new to aquaponics. I found that the $200 packet from the Speraneos
will put you a long way up the learning curve -- It will give you a good
idea of what has been done successfully along with some good rules of
thumb. I think all your questions below are covered pretty well plus a lot
more. The rest you can probably find here.
Virginia should have an Extension expert on fisheries who can tell you a
lot. Ask your county agent to put you in contact with him/her.
Virginia has a really good Sustainable Ag program. You could call either of
your SA state coodinators. Bert McLaughlin (Bertmcl 'at' aol.com) even has a
SARE funded project to compare effectiveness of hydroponics and aquaponics.
Bert is also in Virginia, has a web site (I can't find the link), and is a
helluva helpful guy.
Good luck
Jim

Hey that's a good question. Low pressure mist nozzles can be
purchased from TekSupply by mail or online, http://www.teksupply.com/. They
are made for cooling the chickens and cows. They come with 1/8" pipe
threads so they can be installed with reducing bushings or reducing tees or
even cheaper, tapped directly into the wall of your distribution pipe. They
are available in flowrates from 0.8 to 2.4 gallons per hour at their 100
psi rating. Cost less than $1.00 each. This company also has useful items
such as float valves that are used for stock watering, good for makeup
water in nutrient tanks. They also sell structures and components that can
be used for cold frames etc, plus many items relating to environmental
control, fans, heaters, etc and assorted supplies.
You can buy garden hose Fogg-It mist nozzles from greenhouse
supply companies. They are available in 1/2 and 1 and 2 gpm sizes for
$6.00. You may have to go to a wholesaler for one of these.
Good luck on your project.

the 50 min. is for that price they will sell 1 koi at a time at a higher price. but you would
have to spend $499 on something else from there catalog.
I got a few last winter from a guy in SLC who has a little garden pond in his yard. He said in
the fall there were a gadzilion little ones. They either winter killed or were hideing. We
picked ther Ice up on a warm day and all we cold find were his big origenal stock. I'm going to
try and contact him in july and see if we can find any then.
Maybe you could talk around and find a similar source near you.

Hi Andreia,
The Va. Fish Farmer's Association is a non profit organization, we are
currently developing workshops on aquaponics,in conjunction with Va. State
University.
Our next meeting will be in September, you are invited to be our guest, we
are also planning several tours to other aquaculture facilities in Va. and
N.C.
Feel free to contact me anytime, I believe we can answer most of your
questions and we have two Professors on our board of directors.
