Shifting tilapias
So the last weekend was filled with action as i noticed the solidwaste in my 500 liter system is creating a problem. This system now has around 48 tilapias and some of them have become bigger than the others. So i decided to move 10 of the big ones to my second system.
Catching them in the small fishing net was a little tricky, since the fish had become bigger then the net i had with me. So i had to get a bigger net. In the aquarium store i noticed lots of big fishing nets like the size of an A3 poster. I always wondered who would buy such big nets .... well ... i am well on the way to getting one soon :)
Some of my tilapias have become 8 inch long, another eight months they should be plate size or at least 0.75Kg to 1Kg each.
Here is a short video of how i moved the tilapias.

Miniponics - The Art Series -
This weekend i just decided to make more miniponics and give it an art treatment.
First i painted the growbed and portion of the fish tank white.
Using permanent marker pens, i started drawing interesting fish directly on to the white base coat.
The bottom of the fish tank was given a wave treatment and a few stylized creepers on the vertical pipes held the whole design together.

DIY workshop at Green Bazaar
This weekend was exciting as Green Bazaar had organised an event on "Design Matters". One of the many workshops was on Aquaponics. Here i got a chance of talking to a lot of Aquaponics enthusiasts who wanted to know more.
After a short presentation, I did a DIY session where i showed how one can make a Miniponics - Aquaponics for just under 10$.
Here are a few pics of the workshop. and also a video on DIY - Miniponics

DIY - Aquaponics for under 10$
Aquaponics systems can be setup in various sizes, if you have the space and money you can set up a large 1000liter system in a green house or you can have a small 100 liter system in your balcony.
Most kitchens have a window which gives a little sunlight, this Miniponics is an ideal system that one can use in such small spaces.
So here is how you can make one for just under 10$ and in about an hours time.
This is Miniponics - Aquaponics system made from a 25liter water can.
