A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi all, new guy from trinidad here, good to have info on ap though your experiences.

Havnt set up a system as yet but would soon, once i get a few more 'ingredients'.

Looking for all the trinis out there to help source some hydroton. Or what other local options are there?

cah find dat no wey boy. look like we go ha tuh use some breakup big stone lol!!

Really, can't find it anywhere, my plan is to use 3/8" wash gravel National Quarries.

BTW, I am from POS, Belmont to be exact, where you at??

Hahahah i was thinkin abt using that, but read all over how it keeps the ph too high, so i didnt want to start off bad.

Im from tabaquite side, before piparo area, inside d bush! lol.

Good you noticed about the pH, trini_rudeboi...
Lava rock should be available. I wondered about 'crushed coral'... but the pH thing washed that out.

Cruise the forum for options... the Plan!it is a hydroton alternative, but getting it in Trinidad?? I got no clue. I'm having a hard time locating it here... I hear that hydroponic stores carry it, so that may be my fall back. I can get lava rock-- but it is rough on fingers.

Thanks flipper!

Hey dancinhrblady, i dont think we have lava rock here, but we do have river rock and alot of gravel. But those are too heavy which is a big downside. I have managed to locate a supplier for the generic hydroton, but he said in abt a month it should reach.

I would upload pics of my system once i am confident enough it looks good enough

watch nah u don't need hydroton... thst too expensive... go to a hardware or gravel depot and buy 3/4 to 1 inch gravel they call it granapo wash I believe.. but it is the colorful glassy ones not the blue metal.. works great..
