Aquaponic Window Farms: 1 year ago · ViewYep, it’s the flow rate. Either build a siphon with a smaller tube so you don’t need as much water flow to kick it on or try affnan’s approach to reduce the water flow requirement for the same size pipe in traditional siphon builds.

Aquaponic Window Farms: 1 year ago · ViewBritta, this is 100% possible. The only real problem you run into is, what plants will you grow? Otherwise, it’s essentially the same as freshwater aquaponics.

izzy posted on the forum topic Natural pH up/down alternatives for aquaponics in the group
Aquaponic Window Farms: 1 year ago · ViewThe pH will come down naturally as bacteria release hydrogen ions (protons) into the water, which brings the pH down. Your pH is not bad at all. The plants don’t love this pH, but the bacteria do, which keeps the water clean for the fish. Do not use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen [...]

Hm, I don’t think that brown slime is bacteria. It appears to be brown algae, which is a bunch of microorganisms called diatoms, a type of phytoplankton. The will consume the plant nutrients (not much though), but more importantly they could clog up the pores in the rockwool and they will compete with the root [...]

I would be concerned with pathogens, mold, and fungal growth. Also, when you buy worms there are often times other organisms in the soil it comes in, which could include aphids or worse. :-/

I have a pure hydroponic system. I see no harm in using worm castings in an aquaponics systems. I would just make sure that the organic castings you use are pure or close to pure castings because if it is not it might be high in nitrite or even ammonium that would be bad for [...]

Florida: 2 years ago · ViewDoes anyone know of any good hydroponics stores in the area?
Also, have you guys heard of community gardens? They are run via volunteers and the produce is donated to food banks or the like. Do we have anything like that around here?
