What is Aquaponics?

[@ZipGrowInc]

We were experimenting with some hanging racks for indoor growing using some metal pipe for the stand.

Just thought we should let you know we did end up shooting a system overview video! Check out the Vertical Farm Tour video on our Channel!

[@ZipGrowInc]

It is highly efficient, but we're on a great schedule that allows us to harvest almost exactly what we need. If we have a surplus, we'll just fill up our CSA member's baskets even more!

I would love to see a detailed overview of your system - filtration, fish tank size, fish numbers, grow beds, etc.

[@morpheuszzz5587]

Just found your Channel, really like it 👍🏻

[@RoninIchiban2008]

Do you have a video that shows the entire system overview? Ive pretty much pieced it together except for the water recovery from the towers. Do you have a rain gutter style trough that runs under the towers and returns to the sump tank? Thanks.

[@o1112001]

I am wondering the tanks shown below the hanging ZipGrow Tower in the video contain fish, or just water storage?

[@NetraAmorosi]

Interesting, though if I may make a suggestion? Please organize your videos here into playlist so people can view the videos in their series without hunting through the sea of videos for what is next/relevant.

[@ZipGrowInc]

We don't have any system-specific overview... yet. We'll keep that in mind for future videos, however. Sounds like you got it thought - The water percolates through the towers and is caught by a guttering system which feeds into another pipe which in turn feeds back into the sump. Sounds like you're good to go!

As efficiently as your system seems to be, do ever end up with a surplus of plants that you cant sell quickly enough? And if you do what do you do with them?

Thanks for your videos I will be looking over em a lot as Im very interested. Im both a gardener and an avid aquarist. A few questions though. Nitrates in high amounts will kill the fish. how do you deal with those spikes. Do you do water changes; as in an aquarium (even planted ones) its recommended to do at least a 50% change monthly for the health of the fish. And how do you treat sick fish without the treatment affecting the plants. One last one...how do you deal with insects in that green house? Thank you for your time, and effort into making these videos. I look forward to learning from them

Nice vid. Starting from the very beginning. Will go thru all your vids. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@ZipGrowInc]

You're welcome, PHILIP PACHO - Thanks for being part of the KZbin community. Let us know if you find any videos we haven't created yet! We'll be happy to shoot more.

[@ppac300]

I don't know what kind of information you have on your succeeding videos, but do you do workshops or mini-internships on your farm? More like a hands on approach to teaching/learning? I'd be glad to sign up in the near future.

[@ZipGrowInc]

PHILIP PACHO We don't do workshops, but we've created several educational resources like our new Upstart University which have been very helpful for folks looking to get started in commercial hydroponics or aquaponics.

[@ppac300]

Where can I know more about this Upstart University? Thanks..

[@ZipGrowInc]

PHILIP PACHO You can find out more here: brightagrotech.leadpages.net/upstart-university/

[@ZipGrowInc]

They contain fish (or did). We've moved to our new facility since this video.

[@ZipGrowInc]

We'll work on something like this, Scott; however, that sounds like a very long video.
