    Misc must have aquaponic tools

    I am new to aquaponics and I am wondering what kind of tools would I absolutely need to have in my possession as an AP farmer, i.e a certain type of ph meter, etc..or any tool that I would need along the way to make things easier. Any info would help this newbie out tremendously.

    Thanks for the response. Is your PH test kit the digital or chemical? What kind and where did you get it?

    I've learned that you can get by without the coozie altogether. All you have to do is drink your beer fast enough that it doesn't have time to get cold! This can, of course, lead to a significant pile of empties laying on the ground next to your fish tank while you gaze and grin stupidly at all the nice fishies swimming around. So maybe instead of a coozie, you might want to invest in an extra trash barrel - just to hold the empties!

    Did you mean "TIME TO GET COLD" or should you have said "TIME TO GET HOT"? Sounds like you are drinking HOT BEER...
