Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Is it not wonderful to make friends over fish and plants.
I think it is part of the charm and fun!

Should you decide you'd like some help, just let me know. I only teach on ground classes during the short Summer semester (June-July), Fall and Spring are nothing but online baby!!! Leaves me with a great deal of flexibility with my time (like teaching at 2:00 AM when I can't sleep, LOL). You can catch me on my college address; svaitl@kckcc.edu.

I've heard there's a guy out on 40 highway in Blue Springs that sells the barrels for $5.00 each. Haven't made it out there yet as I've gotten the 4 I have for nothing so far. Shoot, I even got a pump for nothing from one of my former students. It's an Ebara single phase induction 6 gpm/26 ft overhead. He works at a power plant and they were going to trash it since it has been replaced with an updated model pump.

Great to see some other folks from the Heartland here. I quess I am really from the Great Plains area but its a coin toss on which claims us on any day. At any rate you guys are most likely the closest of anyone to me. While I noticed one other system in Nebraska near Omaha I have not been able to track them down. Omaha is still 5 hours, the many systems near Denver, Ft Collins and up and down the front range are 4 hours from here so they are close.

Anyway great to meet cha.
