Thank you for viewing our blog!  We've been working hard to start an aquaponics system in our class.  Each week we will update this blog to keep parents and interested people informed of how things are going.  We just finished two field trips to Arbutus Lake to catch some fish.  We were very successful!  One fish tank has 18 fish and the other has between 30 and 40.  They are hard to count!  

We have had one casualty so far.  A fish died on Sunday and stunk up the room.  I planted 15 strawberry plants and ran the pump continuously so the water could be filtered. As soon as we get two more media barriers we will plant the rest of the vegetable plants and have four grow beds fully functional. We will also have to do something about the sound.  I don't know if I will be able to stand the sound of running water all day!  

Everyone is very excited to see some plant growth.  In future blogs, students will post weekly recordings.  They will record water statistics, such as ph, temperature, and ammonia levels.  They will also measure plant size and update everyone on anything special that happened.  Stay tuned for more!

-Mr. Cooper

I am Zoiey's aunt and I homeschool my 2 kids. We are really excited to see how your aquaponics system works. I have been researching them for a while now and want to start one of our own soon. Keep us posted. :)
