hi all.

i am getting prepared to install a 600 gallon Ft with 4 6x4 grow beds flood and drain shift pist system....all components are ordered and paid for some are here ready to assemble.

i had a major shocker ordering an oxygen test kit from aquaticeco. they are selling me 2 kits for $22 and the shipping is $95 ! because they are considered hazardous material.


WHAT?

anyway, i am look quite forward to plants and fishes and water and cinders.....

peace,
francis

gotta love it! a lot of compounds, elements are considered hazardous materials, the laws are growing in scope every day. between that and possible terrorist materials it is getting hard to move things around and costly.
disposing of chemicals used in hydroponics, and the media can be deemed hazardous. one has to be careful.
looking forward to seeing your set-up.

Hi Francis, welcome to the forum.....

$ 95 for shipping .

Hello and welcome! That's expensive... I would search locally since with that high of a s/h fee it leaves a lot of room for saving money!

There is a pretty large Aquaponics users group in Hawaii that gets together quite regularly. I believe they go by the name "Aquaponics in Paradise".
