Jon Parr said… - Nick, how goes it? Tilapia breeding like crazy for you? I killed the three catfish I got from you last week, dammit. Foolishly had pumps and air on the same same circuit, and it popped. Tilapia survived, but poor cats must have a lower tolerance to low DO. Anyway, I thought I saw a post where you were running plasma lighting, would love a report. Thanks

Two Jay said… - Thanks for adding me to your friends list. My wife and I have been to Growing Power, around April, and fell in love with their system. We are now planning a similar setup at our farm, land has been cleared, trench has been dug etc. The plan is to get the bugs worked out with the system, at the farm, and then move into the city, downtown Grand Rapids.
Ps I am James Kaiserlian, a friend Facebook friend.
