Escondido Tilapia Farm

Just the other day I took a trip out to Escondido, which is in East San Diego County to pick up a few Tilapia from the couple over at the Escondido Tilapia Farm. They had a really cool and inspiring set-up to raise Tilapia for local fish farmers and urban aquaponic fanatics like myself.

Fish Tank Water Is Good For Plants

We have had our Gold Fish tank going for about 9 months now. The tank sits directly outside our living room window. So that we can enjoy our fish from inside the house as well in our outdoor over hang area. Now if you don’t know much about fish than you probably didn’t know that [...]
