After plants and worms, our small system is almost ready to welcome fishes, but first we have to do some chemical tests on the water.

On May 6th we will meet around 13:00 (1 pm) at the Van Gendthallen in Amsterdam to work on our aquaponic systems. We'll finish our big 4-bed system and analyze the small one's water, in order to get everything ready for the fishes.

For any question feel free to contact Anna.
