    TAKE A LOOK AT THESE G/Bs AND F/Ts..!

    Hey Stucco....here's a project for your fiberglass factory...also notice the tomatoes growing in floating Styrofoam without using grow media, just continuous flow

    In this one, they even raised beets in the floating containers with no media

    In both videos, I saw net pots. I couldn't tell for sure, but I think they had rock wool blocks in them (?) In Morning Star, I could see the small maters in them.

    not a new thread, but certainly new too me.
    what a fabulous aquaponics set up so beautifully and skillfully done, given the impression that it was so simple. a lot of engineering went into this one. certainly has my respect.

    Great to see! Any technical drawings available on the water flow system?

    Oh wow, I remember watching those videos when I was first researching aquaponics! The fact I even remember it means it's quite memorable!
