Kricket - could you elaborate? I don't see any problem reading through my
copy received by Eudora. Is there a difference with AOL? Getting text
only, I don't see a background. If you can explain, I'll ask our ISP about it.

Marc,
If I'm not mistaken, hydro-organic growing tolerates a much greater pH
range than conventional hydroponic so there may not be a need to
adjust it. Am I correct Paula?
Yes, it can be used to adjust pH; the question. as Emmett pointed out
is whether by "organic" you mena "for organic certification".

Steve,
Do they make any big greenhouses, or just hobby sized? By big I mean
at least 30' x 96'.

For the really creative/industrious types, might I suggest you look for a
building supplier going out of business. I purchased 10 panes of insulated
glass (sliding patio doors) for $3 to $5 each. These are going into the
south wall of a green house I'm constructing over the summer. Much more
durable than poly, and better insulating value to boot.

Hi all.
I have a couple questions.
1. I've read that Tilapia coloration will change when they reach sexual
maturity. Can anyone tell me how it changes? I've heard that they will
tend to get a reddening around the gills and belly. Is this correct? I
have a few fish placed in a basic aquarium (so that my students can get a
good look at the Tilapia), and one of them is gettting this red showing up.
It is very faint, but not so faint that it is unnoticeable. There is also
some reddening of the tail fin. This is very general across the entire fin.
These four little guys all behave very normally, so I am not suspecting
disease. Any input would be appreciated.
2. Having read many of the posts about the stirling engine, I began
thinking about an issue I am going to have here at my school. Since I work
in a HUGE school system (over 110,000 students), much of the control of
climate control systems has been centralized. This means that my air
conditioning in my room will either be shut off completely, or turned way
up. I am planning to install a fan to help keep water temperature down, but
I'm sure this will not suffice. I don't currently have the funding to build
a cooling system such as the "dorm-room refrigerator" system, so I was
contemplating freezing milk jugs of water, and floating one in the tank. I
know it is crude, but it is all I can really think of
.Your thoughts would
be warmly accepted!
Thanks!

Devon,
Will the powers that be allow you to install a window AC as part of
the aquaponic system? I assume they don't ever turn power off to the
building
You can buy a used one for $100.

Given that there isn't a window in the room, I guess I could just sit it on
the table
I'm not sure what type of exhaust window AC units need
. Do
you know?

They definitely need a fresh air intake.
