    Time to file for 10 different permits from Hawaii Department of Health!

    I assume the fish will eat the larvae. If not, I hear you can throw in some mosquito fish (hopefully the bigger fish don't eat them!).

        I started doing this years ago on my own, pre interwebs, and nearly had great success.
        It's yet another way this State could be self-sustaining, I'll bet they can't ignore this fast enuf.

          Thanks for sharing your passion, Hellbent. There's a pretty robust community in Hawaii (across most islands, and especially on the Big Island) doing aquaculture and aquaculture evangelism. Do you know the folks at AquacultureHub? It's basically a big forum and social network for aquaponics fans.

            Hi, you can call me Albert if you want. Hellbent is my video game name =)

            Yes, Dr Ron gave a workshop at our meetup at Olomana Gardens on how to sex tilapia last month.

            Besides aquaculturehub, there are also:

            http://backyardaquaponics.com/forum/index.php
            and
            http://aquaponicscommunity.com/


            I find aquaculturehub leaning more towards the academics and hard science while i consider my forums more DIY'ers

              Thanks for pointing him out, Sue

                If anyone is interested in taking a trip to Waimanalo, I am organizing a potluck on July the 30th. It is being hosted by Olomana Gardens and includes a free tour.
                Info and pictuers of past meetups here:
                http://aquaponicsinparadise.com/APfo...icseen#msg6987

                Its a great outing for families and its free (except the potluck part). Please let me know if you would like to attend so I can update my list.
                I would like to break 100 this time!

                  If youre not doing anything today, come by Waimanalo and stop by for a tour of an aquaponic farm. There will be a potluck and a movie at 6 - Fresh, the Movie.

                    Looks like my old high school is having the kids do aquaponics as a school project. Wish they'd done stuff like that when I was there! https://sites.google.com/site/seabur.../hydroponics-1
