Stuppy Aquaponics Blog

Welcome to our first post in our ongoing series highlighting our Aquaponics Curriculum!

Over the coming weeks, we will be posting a series of articles covering the basics of each Curriculum Topic. Today, we are covering Topic 1, Lesson 1, What is Agriculture. Each of these blog posts is aimed to give an overview of the subject and provide one or more critical thinking questions. Enjoy!

Join Conor Quinlan, Stuppy's Aquaponics Engineer, as he demonstrates how to use the API Water testing kit we include with every Aqueduct unit.

This easy to use kit is fantastic for monitoring the quality of your water and gathering data for use in future experiments and classroom activities.

Testing your water frequently can help identify problems early enough that you can correct them, potentially saving you from disaster events like a fish kill. We recommend testing the Aqueduct at least 3 times a week.

As always, we are happy to answer questions! Comment below, or contact our Aquaponics team by email!

We're back today with more awesome video content.  Here, our systems engineer Conor Quinlan is offering some helpful tips for dealing with a problem common to all Aquaponics systems, Floating media. 

Often, when you first fill a system with water, the expanded clay will float a few inches off the water. While common, this is an issue that is easily solved. You can watch the video to see how we handle it in our Aqueduct system. 

We hope you enjoyed last week's video providing a brief introduction to the Aqueduct!  This week we are pleased to be releasing additional video content. Our team installed a system for Colonial Gardens in Blue Springs, MO recently, and we were able to capture the event on film. 

This is a long video, but highlights just how easy these systems are to set-up. Just Conor and myself were able to complete the job over the span of two short days! While we are somewhat experienced in setting these up, most people should have no issues putting an Aqueduct together in just a short time. Enjoy!

Until now, we have been able to show off pictures of our system in action.  Today, we have something that is a little bit more exciting to share. 

Enjoy the short video introduction to the Aqueduct, and look out next week for additional video content!
