Anyone from the philippines specially in my home town, Davao?

I am not but I am hopefully going to put in a system, money allowing. Just up the road from you in my wifes home town, San Francisco. Later on this year.

cool!

where is she at?

it's really hard to find materials here maybe she can advise?

Unfortunately she is here with me in the US. Basically if you can't find it in your town or Butuan. It is not on the island. But if you are willing to wait there are always Balikbayan boxes for the small stuff And I just so happen to be a UMAC agent.

I can't find any in our state, but I found plenty in Luzon but they price it very high though and shipping costs are still not considered.

Well you should put up a shop here in Mindanao you know I can help you market it!

I already asked my sister (she lives in Perth) to send me some AP stuff for my next project, it would take months for the balikbayan box to arrive, well worth the wait!

I have not been to butuan but my wife and I are planning for a trip up there.

Butuan is smaller than Davao, and not as clean. But It has the other airport off the island. And close to the port at Cagayan. It is where I go to buy most of my higher priced items (computers, appliances, electronics). When I am over there.

Maybe next time I am over there I might drop by, if I can find the time.

True it's near cagayan not to mention camiguin island! I always wanted to go there.

Just give me buzz if you can. I can give you a tour in our city!

That would be awesome. One day I will take you up on that offer. Camigun island, for the volcano, or hot springs?

I would gladly be of service! I'm fan of hiking so I would choose volcano.

Hi Xynax,

Can you please post the type of fish feed that you use?

Regards

when the tilapias were still small I used sakura fish feed. they have a site: http://sakurafishfood.com/

now they are a little bigger so I shop in the public market with the a generic feed for fish. currently I am growing duck weed to replace the feeds.

Thanks, can you please keep me updated when your plants grow out?

I find that the feeds i manage to obtain in my country might be lacking micro nutrition causing deficiencies during plant growth.

Regards

why do you say that? your plant are not growing as expected?

have you measured your water for nitrates yet?
