What pesticide to use in a aquaponics system?
HiI am interested in setting up my own aquaponics system and have it pretty much all planned out, there is just one issue. I know that you can't use any herbicides or pesticides because it will kill the fish but are there any alternatives that can be used? Any homemade products? I just don't know how successful it will be. I live in Sydney a rural area and I'm just not sure whether my veggies will survive.Please only tried and tested methods as I don't want to kill my fish Thanks

Plants I can use in an aquaponics system?
I saw a picture on the internet, where this pump sucks water out of a fish tank, sends it up to an area where plants grow and the water goes through a substrate or something where it filters out a lot of the bad content nitrate and stuff plants love , then it delivers the remaining water back into the fish tank to repeat the cycle.Now, if I remember correctly, can't you drown a lot of plants? Or most plants?I was thinking about maybe growing something neat like vegetables, and aiding the growth of the vegetables with my crayfish tank who are very messy eaters .For these types of aquaponic set ups, do you have to turn the water on and off? Or can the cycle keep going and you just don't have to worry about your plants drowning?If drowning is an issue, what plants do I use?ThanksChris

Getting a aquaponics system for my room and can't decide on what type of fish?
Because the tank is only ten gallons, that put most fish out of the question. I really don't want koi, but I was wondering if there were smaller breeds of tilapia I could get, something I can eat.

Would you vote for an indoor garden (aquaponics) project?
Hi everyone,This is the first time I've joined a business plan competition, and we need online votes to win. Our team a group of post grads includes an Engineer, and MBA and a couple of soon to be accountants. The competition is hosted by the University of California, Irvine. We're designing a piece of furniture wherein you can grow both fish and lettuce and other veggies. It's an aquaponics setup, but prettied up to be the center of attraction in your living room. we're talking veneer finished wood and tempered glass It's perfect for urban apartments that do not have any lawn or garden space. You can grow and eat organic food off of it, but most importantly, it's plug and play with on board micro controllers for very low maintenance If you want more information, our website address is eco shelf.com . There's a " click here" link at the bottom, so just follow that and it will take you to the voting page. It will require a quick signup through facebook, or an email verification sign up. Alternatively, you could just go directly to the voting page at vator.tv company windchime llc?competition 128 and hit the " vote" icon. It will require either a facebook signup or an email verification sign up. Either way, the voting website is legit, and will not spam you.Our main goals are 1. to help people choose organic food over fastfood especially in urban cities, where healthy food is very scarce . and 2. to educate children about eating healthy. More than 50 % of cancers are due to unhealthy diets. The best way to fight illness is by preventing it We hope you can show support for this good cause. Thanks everyone for your support PS> if you have any suggestions about how to gain more votes, or any other tips in our business plan, please feel free to share them here Hi Sandy, Thanks for your response.Our product is not the food produced by the system, but rather the equipment that will control the temperature, humidity, aeration and water flow to promote plant and fish growth indoors. The choice of what food to grow will be the customer's decision. Our product is basically an aquaponics system, wherein the only input that goes into the system is fish food. The plants are nourished by the water that the fish swim in. Our product will not add any dangerous chemicals or pesticides, because it simply has no capability to do so.. Thus all the food from the system is organic.Furthermore, we are educated in the matter and do have working prototypes if you visit our website you will see some pictures along with 3D models of the concept , and we have done a lot of research, and are continuing to do research on optimizing food production through this method. I hope this clarifies your questions.

I have been looking into aquaponics however, my mother doesn't want to set up a system in our backyard?
We have an urban garden in our backyard and I was considering bringing the idea of aquaponics with tilapia to the backyard. Since my mother doesn't want to I figured I could make my own set up in my room. Does anyone have suggestions on the type of fish I could use in my room since it will be a smaller set up. Or could I still use tilapia, but only 2 or 3?

Bugs in Aquaponics system?
I have an aquaponic system at my home. Aquaponics and hydroponics are not the same thing, but very similar. Basically in aquaponics you are adding fish in the picture, the fish poop fertilizes the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish. Anyways, I am growing lettuce in my system, my lettuce is being eaten by insects. I did a little research and Dipel and Bontanigard eliminate worms and nats. Where I live we are going through a drought, we have 5 different kinds of roaches at my house. 4 of the 5 kinds have taken up residence in my lettuce, the roaches are everywhere. I heard neem oil will take care of them but if the oil gets on the lettuce, the plant wont taste good. Would Dipel and Bontanigard take care of the roaches ? Or are there other products I can try that will be safe for my system and myself?
