Updates on our small scale aquaponic system


Just as Kevin Bollinger mentioned in a previous post, our aquaponic systems have been highly successful. My group's aquaponic system is growing bean sprouts, arugula, and basil. Our wheat grass, however, has been removed to make room for more unique plants. While our own aquaponic system is doing well, I cannot say the same for some of the other groups' systems. 3 fish have died since we have started, and we're not 100% sure what caused the deaths. One group has replaced their fish with 2 guppies, so the class can see how well other fish work in an aquaponic system. Furthermore, the aquaponic system next to mine is doing quite poorly, with no plants except for dying wheat grass. Despite some setbacks, our class is doing very well overall and I see a bright future for STEM.
