Aquaponic Window Farms: 1 year, 6 months ago · ViewOur firm has a new invention. We call it ecoponics. Aquaponics includes three living elements: fish, microbes, plants. Ecoponics adds a fourth element: people. What I mean is that our model of introducing aquaponics to communities includes educational curriculum, so that when we get a private developer to create a system, we team up with local school or nonprofit to bring on student interns to help us build it and operate it on behalf of the owner. We’re lining up some high profile projects along these lines in LA and NYC, so if you’d like to get involved in some way, shoot me an email at bevan@aquaplanetonline.com.
I’m absolutely agree with the idea, we have been used the effective microoganisms(EM) already.
Do you put in one or many microorganisms?
Not quite following you….
The EM was introduced to Korea From Japan
I would love to be a part of this! I work for a non-profit teaching science afterschool in LA. My students are currently working on a service learning project based on aquaponics. I will be emailing you sir.

Hi, I’d love to hear more about your projects in NYC. I’m setting up a small system in my apartment in Brooklyn with yet a fifth element: Worms! It’s been called ’vermiponics’, the idea being that worms can help clean up congested growing media as well as provide a food source for the fish. Aside from the DIY, I’m really interested in people’s ideas on the scaleability of aquaponics, especially in dense urban areas.

Aquaponic Window Farms: 1 year, 6 months ago · ViewI have a new aquaponics vertical grow system using bamboo that’s working pretty darn well.
Interesting… can you link us to some pics and/or diagrams/how-tos?
Not right yet, it’s still in development, proprietary. Will keep you posted.
You hit me to death!!!
Please link me to some pics and/or diagrams/how-tos too.

Thanks @bevansuits ! One thing though – I can’t figure out where to register for access to the videos on simply-eco.com. Any pointers?
Hi Adrian,
The link is actually http://simply-eco.org/ and you register on the right side, part way down. Let me know if you have any other problems.
I’ve identified the problem: the ”Get Video Access” box is collapsed/empty in Firefox. Just a header with a fraction of an inch of white below it. When I opened the page in Safari it worked properly. Perhaps you can pass this info on to the web developer(s) and it will allow the error to be repaired.

Aquaponic Window Farms: 2 years, 1 month ago · ViewI am hearing that the aquaponics momentum is picking up all over. If any of you can get a functioning prototype working, let me know, maybe we can do business!
I’ve got my second system at a good balance right now. The first one ran for about a year and a half before it grew out of control and taught me some good lessons… this one has only been up for a few months. I just found this site and you have a wealth of knowledge to read through… which I’ll be doing. Thanks!
I was going to set up some simple guides to show how mine were built. My original design actually did use a bell siphon that worked *too* well. The pressure caused too much splashing, even after adding a diffuser, which it needed for oxygen anyway. I tried to keep them as simple as possible… But this leaves something to be desired. My second system is set up over a pond. Both systems were made almost entirely from recycled parts, too.
For my next upgrade I’d like to work with new ways to generate power using this system. Ideally I’d like to capture energy from the gravity drain-out of the water (Along with another type of energy capturing device I’d like to make)… and if I were really hardcore… maybe try to harvest biogas? Hmmm. Baby steps, I guess. There are lots of ways to build on Aquaponic systems and they’re generally quite cheap, that’s one thing I love about it.
I’m in San Jose, California, and I have been thinking very heavily about starting a company that produces modular aquaponic systems (among other things) using recycled materials…
My understanding of energy generation from drain systems is that it’s not pratical, you really need a stream of certain size to charge a battery. Siphons are great in theory, sometimes they work, I hear a lot about them not working.

It makes you wonder what’s in the water of even ‘organically’ grown vegetables.

Aquaponic Window Farms: 2 years, 1 month ago · ViewDoes anyone have an aquarium up and running now?
Not yet. But soon , I want to . I was wondering which kind of fish could be together to make a little ecosystem.
Any kind of fish. Goldfish are good and cheap, produce a lot of ammonia. If you want to eat the fish, here in the states you can buy pacu from PetSmart, which actually may come from your area, near the Amazon.
I do
I have an aquaponics system running on a 55 gallon tank with two grow beds. I was looking for something to attach to my 20 gallon of feeder fish and found this.I’m also a member of Sylvia Bernstein’s Aquaponic Gardening Community on Ning (http://www.aquaponicgardening.ning.com). I got the link from an article she posted on Twitter.
Maybe you’ll be the first documented aquaponics window farm?
Maybe! Depends on how many bottles I can collect by the weekend. I have a few fixes to the water supply in the big system, but this might work better for my climbers and small plants. As if this hobby wasn’t addicting enough!
Do you have any updates on your progress?
I added a new post with my update.
I’ll follow up with pictures tonight.
