WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

If you have attended the Intro to Aquaponics and are craving more, or have built your own system and need to know what it will take to make it more successful, this is the class for you. Many people catch the aquaponics bug, run out and put a system together and then wonder why their fish die or the plants won't grow (hopefully this hasn't happened yet). We've learned over the years what to do and what not to do to be successful with aquaponics. And continue to learn every day what building an ecosystem that mimics nature has to teach us all.
