good morning grace. i am miche from quezon city. We would like to venture in aquaponics with a partner who has a farm in malvar, batangas. You mentioned that you are already running an aquaponics farm in tanauan which is just nearby. are you operating commercially? and is it okay to have a visit in your farm to see your set-up? please send me an email at michevbi@yahoo.com thanks miche

May May, the drawings should be out by first quarter of next year. Working on a book to show how this is the best way to grow your own food, even in small confined spaces or you can enlarge it to big commercial farms.

Hi Don, i am mike from philippines in Laguna. I'm doing Hydroponics for 1 month and i am interested in Aquaponics. My plan is to have a serious business either hydroponics or aquaponics since aquaponics no need to add chemicals as nutrient (npk etc.) can you help me to know all details and system for establishing a aquaponics set up? By the way my email is vaztyz@yahoo.com

Am a returned peace corp volunteer from the RP (84-86) and remember kangkong as a feed for my animal projects. Now, I am an US Army Reservist on active duty in Afghanistan. I'm in contact with an Agribusiness Development Team that are interested in trying it here. Would someone please donate the seeds?

The only problem with people communicating with "people in heaven" is it violates Scriptures. Accordingly it says, Ecc 9:5, "the dead know nothing".

In fact, we know in 1 Thes 4:16, it says, "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead

good morning Don,

i am seriously thinking of going into aquaponics. i have a vacant lot here in bulacan and i want to make it productive. we dont have irrigation channels here coz we are at a high elevation. i can produce a small pond for starter and want to talk to you more on aqauponics especially tilapia culture.

thank you for sharing your knowledge on aquaponics.

2009-08-01T22:07:40.701-07:00

Vince - it will work, you just need sun plus make sure the fish doesn't eat the seeds. LOL. My tilapia always ate the new leaves so the kang kong wouldn't last long.

Hi Don,

We are into bangus farming and your article is really interesting and as you said, has commercial implications. I wanted to test aquaponics first on my son's fish aquarium...I am planning to just sprinkle the kangkong seeds into the water...please stop me if this wont work! :)

Hello Don,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am currently in Manila but my farm is in Mindanao. Please let me know when I can visit your place. I have been doing some computations and would seem very costly both initial and operational costs. I am just wondering if there other ways to do it. My ponds are concrete ponds and i plan to do the hydroponics part on a commercial basis. I

Hi Don,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am currently in Manila. My farm is located in Mindanao. I would be happy to send you some photos of the pond through your private email. Please email me though the email add i gave you.

Thanks,

Hi Don,

I have 4 concrete ponds of tilapia measuring 140sqm each. I m planning to add hydroponics to these ponds but would like to see a working model first. May I see your system? Please let me know through 10flyboy20@live.com.

Many Thanks

Jon

They are plastic bins that you can buy in any department store or hardware store. I just filled them with rocks and put a PVC pipe to spill the water back into the pond.

Thanks, -Don

Hi Don,

Im interested in starting in aquaponics. Where did you buy your 2 growbeds? Did you do it yourself? Or are they just customized plant boxes?

thanks!

Kerwin,

2009-02-28T01:01:00.000-08:00

Kerwin,

1. you used the grow beds as mechanical filters right? so you pumped water directly to the grow bed for 12hrs a day(during daytime?)and let it drain out by itself?

YES, water comes in at one end and there's a hole on the other side. So once the water goes high enough, it goes into that hole which is connected to a PVC pipe that goes back to the pond.

2.

Carlos,

2009-02-28T00:53:00.000-08:00

Carlos,

You have given me some info.

1. A general idea would be a way to bring the water out of your ponds into one tank where the tank would distribute the water through different grow beds or NFT.

2. The beds should have an outlet to go back to another tank which would equally distribute the water back to your ponds.

Where are you located in the world?
