Yesterday I moved my Aquaponics system to Compass School, where it will be used for high school science experiments.
It sits under a west-facing window as before, but now it is mobile. Check out the stand that the students built for it! They painted it and even added casters to roll it out of the way when they need the counter space for other lab projects. Nice work!
It took about an hour to set it up in its new spot.
creating a lot of surface area where the plant roots, fish food and decaying fish food collect. Since I hadnt rinsed the grow bed media since I built the system, I rinsed it all in another plastic bucket before moving it. No worries. The water should clear up soon as the solids settle to the bottom of the growbed, and the water is cycled.
Anyway, Im psyched that the system is in good hands with Eric Rhomberg, the science teacher. I think it looks pretty cool in his classroom. Dont you?
The water cleared up by this morning. Heres the fish happily eating their breakfast. Looking good!
Check back for more updates from Compass School!
