See the tour of Pennock Family Farm! Join Paul Begue as he features an aquaponics system that discharges zero water in Colorado. This incredible feat has been achieved by J.D. Sawyer of the Aquaponic Source. This system features an AST Endurance Filter for mineralization. This filter is processes the nutrients, keeping water healthy for … Continued
Paul tours Gulf Coast Research Lab. Check out our three video series touring their facility. See their Speckled Sea trout and Triple Tail systems and their broodstock and breeding tanks. Special thanks to the University of Mississippi and Gulf Coast Research Lab for allowing us this in depth, behind the scenes tour. These guys have … Continued
RAS Tech was a great conference, bringing together many professionals in aquaculture. Paul took some video footage, talking with some of the companies we do business with.

Join Paul as he prepares to move fish into the biologically cycled small aquaponics setup (see video on filter acclimation for that process). Watch as he gently nets out beautiful butterfly koi and releases them into their new roomy tank.
Paul will be back next week, but follow up today with Maddie as she shows the small aquaponics system and the UV sterilizer she added to improve water clarity.
Part 1: Standard Bead Media vs. Enhanced Nitrification Media This video covers the two types of bead filter media, standard bead media and enhanced nitrification bead media. Paul reviews the surface area, and the filtration capture of bead media. Studies have shown that our bead filters capture 100% of particles greater than 50 microns and … Continued

This article covers ‘fishless cycling’, a method to establish a tank’s biofilter using chemicals. Fishless cycling allows the fish to flourish and eat with stable water chemistry with as little stress as possible. The major drawback is it takes several weeks to get a new system’s bacteria established before acquiring fish. New tanks with fish … Continued
This video goes through the equipment I use to setup a small aquaponics system using a plant tower (for a smaller footprint). This will be a coupled system, where the nutrient water from the fish will run through the plant tower and back to the fish tank, forming a full recirculating loop. BBF XS … Continued
Timelapse of re-plumbing the Endurance filter for our hands off 1500 Gallon Koi Tank: Endurance Filtration Challenge. This filter plumbing will run the outflow of the Endurance filter through the UV and back into the fish tank. Before, the flow was split with only some going through the UV and the rest of the flow … Continued
