What is fed to the fish goes to the plant, the advantage of the Tilapia is it eats many kinds of vegetables, ipil-ipil, kangkong, malunggay, duckweed, etc., plus the feeds - iron and other minerals can also be picked up from the media of the growbed - especially if it is coming from the river. Hence, you can play around with it and see what works and does not work..and innovate

Invest on good health and know-how(knowledge is power) in producing your own healthy food. Ignorance can be very very expensive and no matter how much money you have, God forbid, it will go down the drain if you or any member of your family gets into health problems that could have simply prevented. Hospitals, Doctors, Pharmacies and funeral parlor are your main beneficiares because of sheer ignorance on health and good healthy food.

During the time of great depression in the 1930's in the US, the only people who had decent meals daily were people in the farm or those who owned farms. Now, with Aquaponics, we have a chance to produce our own food - fish and vegetables in our backyard, such that come - God forbid, great depression, pandemic, calamities, etc., we are able to sustain ourselves without outside supply of food. Food enough for each of the families that have prepared for these eventuality. History tend to repeat itself, and the wise should learn from history and the pattern it unfolds.

There was a time somewhere in northern luzon when an area was quarantined because of an epidemic, hence no one get in or out of a certain sector. Once again, God forbid, but should it happen we would be ready if we are able to produce our own food. The direction of environment friendly systems is towards - decentralization, such that energy - power plant is will now be produced near the source not the centralized system with long wires to power lines - dangling along the road.

naa na ba nakasuway aquaponics dre?? pwd ninyo e share ang experience??

Yes bro! isa ko sa nainterest ani nga technology...
Naa ko gibuild na system bago lng gyud nahuman..nag seedling pako para ako itanum..

Sorry for that bad link bro...here's the whole setup pics. The whole system uses the 3 types of Aquaponics: NFT, Media based, and Rafting.



I. NFT Setup



II. MEDIA Based Setup



III. Rafting Setup

Hydroponics is the only thing i've gone into really... I can't really afford the capital and space + maintenance of aquaponics.

but this is a good hobby if u wanna be self-sufficient.

I'm a business administration student, and this is part of my thesis to put up any business that we can. And i chose hydroponics coz i was fascinated by the idea of growing ur own plants in the water at home.

U can view more pics at: Hydro Garden | Facebook

this is my set up:

Ma'm ulissa,

nice kaau imo hydroponics dah...unsa mani imo tanum sa ubos na pix? ingun ani ako plan sa next naku project for Aquaponics..

d pa kaau ko suhito sa pag tanum or pag seedling..ask tana ko idea gi unsa nimo pag seedling?unsa imo mga gibutang sa cup?

imo gipatubo daan nya gibalhin dayun sa cup?

Yes, actually growing them and transplanting them from seedling-sprouts is one of the tricky parts to it. u have to get used to it and be really really gentle with the plants kay if ma putol ang roots, wala na. it takes a lot of practise.

I sprouted them sa vermicompost.. then i let them grow for approx 10 days (until they are about 2-4cm tall), then i carefully scoop them out and transfer them into the cups, then put them into the system. U should not put seeds straight into the system coz the seeds will be washed away by the current of the water flow. u have to sprout them first OUTSIDE the system till they have roots to hold on to something.

i have a blog on how to sprout the seeds. u may find this useful in ur system sad: Hydroponics & Organics in Cebu

pangitaa ra ang blog entry about sprouting seeds. Update me on ur performance! id love to see how well you're doing.
