Thanks to Randy’s old Canon underwater camera, we can ‘observe’ our fish in our system in these YouTube videos even though we don’t have them in aquariums with glass walls. This will be helpful so we can observe fish behavior, stress levels, scratching, etc. We’re also working on building a viewing tube so we can get up close and personal with the fishies like we’re looking through a periscope.
These aren’t quite National Geographic quality but they are fun and it’s uncommon to see fish in aquaponics systems. As our system ‘ages’, we will have more tanins and organic material in the water so visibility may go down soon.

Aquaponics is usually defined as a hybrid of two existing methods: aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquaculture is the process of raising fish in closed systems. Hydroponics, on the other hand, endeavours to produce fresh fruits and vegetables using water alone; with no soil as done traditionally. When you combine these two older systems, you get aquaponics.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
“You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to
tell someone!
It’s amazing to go to see this web page and reading the views of all colleagues regarding this article,
while I am also zealous of getting experience.
Everything is very open with a really clear clarification of the issues.
It was definitely informative. Your site is very helpful.
Many thanks for sharing!
