Hello from Alaska!

[Alaskaponics]

Weather is a big deal here in Alaska. An outside sump is about useless year around. I have two aquaponic setups. One is more a planted aquarium in it I'm growing petunia snow peas, spider lilies, and devils pothos with no problems. This is probable because of the plastic cups I have the plants in!

The pictures I have are related to my main grow: 30 gallon sump with 15 gold fish (all comets about 2 inches) pumping to a biofilter filtering out as much solids as possible! The biofilter flows into 2 NFT channels of 4 inches and has 2 inch cuts every 6 inches for grow spaces. I am growing catnip at the moment as well as petunia, geranium, tomato, cucumber, and snow pea.

Everything is growing great and the only high readings are Nitrates over 50 ppm.

Cheers my fellow aquaponic buddies!
