TCLynx replied to Wil Miles's discussion pipe size for bell siphon drsains?"In Aquaponics we have to keep the water very well aerated and so avoid some of the Hydro problems and I think the relative lack of mineral salts in the aquaponic water actually makes a big difference in how many plants respond to being constantly in…"

Derald Howell said… Hi Will,
I just got a contract on my condo this week, so I can start my system in a couple of months. However, if need any help with anything, I would be glad to give you a hand. I live in Carlton Lakes ( Immokalee and Livingston) for the next 30 days or so and really have a need to get moving in the right direction.

Jonathan Farrand said… They are cold water species called homerus americanus or the north atlantic lobster. Caught by fisherman. This species has not been sucessfully farmed. They migrate great distance annually and seek cold water. I am still a worker in the lobster industry of Maine seeking to convert to aquaponic and organic farmer.

No lobster farming that is a lobster tank house. Used to store lobster before quality seperation and shipment. There are fresh water lobsters out of Austrilla that get to be around a pound and a half range.
