    Aquaponicos de el salvador

    SYSTEM RE-STARTED IN OCTOBER 2010. WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE WEATHER..A COUPLE OF HURRICANES CAME TO VISIT.
    DAMAGES WERE MINOR TO THE SYSTEM, BUT THE ROADS AND POWER SUPPLY WERE DAMAGE. KEPT THE SYSTEM GOING WITH GENs.
    THE SYSTEM IS FULL WITH PLANTS (STILL SOME PROBLEMS WITH BALANCING THE SYSTEM...YELLOW LEAVES...Fe ADDED AND Mg MAYBE STILL NOT TO THE REQ LEVEL...ALSO N MAYBE A LITTLE LOW, BUT WITH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE BALANCED)

    WE HAVE A MIX OF VEGGIES TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW THE SYSTEM-PLANTS REACT.
    IT IS A LEARNING CURVE WE HAVE TO PAY FOR.

    LAST WEEK 90% OF THE TRAYS WERE OCCUPIED AND LETTUCE IS DOING WELL, BASIL, BOK CHOY. CILANTRO GOT SOME PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST BATCH. SECOND BATCH MUCH BETTER.
    CUCUMBERS, EGGPLANTS AND TOMATOES JUST STARTED 10 DAYS AGO.

    Hi Rodolfo,

    I'm pleased to hear that the hurricane didn't cause you too much damage.

    Sounds like things are starting to settle with your system.

    Thank you Gary.

    I wish i can upload some pix.

    My brother is preparing a small video to share in you tube and also our own internet site.

    Next is the hatchery and biofloc tanks for tilapia, if we have the import permit we plan to try pangasius and red claw using biofloc systems
