Dr. Takeda,
Thanks for your reply and I will try to schedule an opportunity to see both
sites in January if that can work out.
Paula and Tom Speraneo have developed an aquaponics system which, I believe,
A does not filter the water before running it through the beds
B gravel grow beds are the filtration
C bacteria maintained in the grow beds for nutrient conversion
D functions with an aerator but much of the O2 is supplied by a shower
effect when the water is pumped back into the fish tank
I am thinking that this system has less equipment involved than some and more
nutrient cycling. Since the Spenaneo's are hosts of this message board @
townsqr, I know I will find out if this is the right information on their
system.
Thankyou,
Lee

Ed - thanks for the URL. I'm glad to see the VFFA's presence on the
internet and hope it helps promote the association, and the industry as well.
Enjoyed the articles, and look forward to more from your group.

Lee and Patrick,
It is my understanding that Virginia State University (Petersburg) is in the
process of intitiating aquaponic research projects. I think Brian Nerrie is
the best point of contact there: bnerrie@vsu.edu
