hello all. I feel like I skipped out on this step.. and it would be nice to say hello to allllll
my names Anna, I attend SUNY ESF in good old Syracuse NY, and work the summers at Cabbage Hill Farm Aquaponic Greenhouse in Mount Kisco, NY. I am currently working on setting up a system to help feed the hungry here in syracuse, and starting drawing up plans to later be submitted for grants and such. I found this website and thought it was the most valuable resource.. because its based on pure experience. any tips and tricks i can pick up on the way from designers would be excellent.
- two 956 gallon tanks, stocked with tilapia fingerlings, aiming for stocking at 1/3 to half pound of fish, and to have the water turnover to be at an hour. planing on trying to run eleven 12 foot NFT's off of each tank, and have a gravel underlying collection for some extrrrrra sediment removal before returning to the tanks. (bead and biofilter in the works...)
