  • Sussing out Mediamatic's 'Sister System' in…

    The system is not working very well, a rebuild plan is drawn up.

    Since the Aquaponics project of Self-Sustaining Communities was started up last Spring, the system has wound down somewhat. It looks as though a complete rebuild may be needed to get the system...

    Trial and Error

    A photo essay

    Our system with the five half barrel beds is up and running now, the plants in the beds have taken root and we will be taking delivery of 30 Channel Catfish next week. We will be getting them from...

  • A 'Sister System' for the Mediamatic Aquaponics…

    How similar is a system of almost the same design... in a very different climate?

    For family reasons, I am leaving Amsterdam and returning to my native San Francisco. … Just as things are getting interesting with the system at Mediamatic's Urban Farm... A 'sister system' system in...

    The Channel Catfish for the Richmond aquaponics farm have arrived! This video shows their release.

  • Workshop

    with new system design

    Mediamatic wanted an aquaponics system in their greenhouse office at the Fabriek, so during the workshop we built one upstairs. It's a new design, because the tower wouldn't fit underneath the glass...

  • New baby fish at the Fabriek

    Clarias gariepinus | African sharptooth catfish

    After the deaths of around 400 of our fish due to a power failure, we were sadly left with two empty systems. Time to take action, before the bacteria in the systems would die as well.

  • The Ultimate Miniponics Manual

    How to build it yourself

    The miniponics system is a cute little one, attracting a lot of attention from visitors. Read here how you can build it yourself.

  • Big fish, big food

    We just learned something new! Lately our big fish (they're approaching 300 grams now) weren't eating very well, but we couldn't find a cause. Until we ordered new fish food for them.

  • Bright and shiny

    Philips LEDs give new perspective to grow lights

    Those new grow LEDs we got from Philips are very bright indeed! It feels like we've been trying to get plants growing in dusk al this time

  • Prevention rather than cure

    Old saying true for us

    Fish are like humans. They have all kinds of slumbering diseases and they have an immune system that helps them defeat the pathogens. Just like us.

  • Enormous vertical aquaponics farm in Chicago

    In an abandoned warehouse

    There has been some talk in the aquaponics community about the question whether aquaponics can be done commercially succesful. Here's an example, it's called FarmedHere

  • Sea of mint

    Be sure to get a nice cup of tea next time you visit us

    The few shabby roots and sticks we put in one aquaponics growbed have grown into a sea of fresh tasty mint!

  • Miniponics succes

    Many people want it at home

    After two days of workshops using the miniponics as a demonstration model, we can say it's a big succes.

  • The Flying Aquaponics Team in Izmir

    November 15 and 16, 2013

    Contemporary art organization K2 in Izmir is currently in the middle of the process leading to an exhibition in March 2014 about the ecology of the city. They invited us to do an aquaponics workshop...

  • Structuring processes

    Backing up our assumptions

    Our oldest system has been running for one and a half years now and we've seen happening a lot to it in this time. Ebs and flows, births and deaths, seeds and fruits. To have this experience is nice

  • Field Peas

    Growing field peas in an aquaponics greenhouse

    Although our shade cloth can cool the greenhouse on hot days, it is still nice to have some complete shade inside. We have created some extra shade by just using some string and field peas.

  • A new system!

    Thanks to the workshop participants

    Last friday we built a new system. It's about time too, because the catfish are a little bit overstocked.

  • Ladybirds

    A promiscuous cannibalistic insect loved by gardeners

    Lately we have been finding several aphids on our plants in the greenhouse. One way to fight aphids is by spraying cold water over plants. However, aphids can also be fought in an organic way: by...

  • Iron Deficiency

    Deep red water, but healthy plants.

  • PH meter

    Brand new easy to use PH & Temp meter

    To ensure the right living conditions for our fish we need to measure the PH daily. The liquid tests are quite a hassle and they're not always that accurate. So we bought an electronic one.

  • Too big, too many

    The catfish are growing

    Yesterday we experimented with different techniques to measure our catfish.
