Will be able to show case a number of new leading edge things that I have been developing.
Here are just a few of them:
Design of a “Radial Flow Filter” for the tower unit system ( will be blogging and doing a Youtube video about it shortly”
Venturi DIY design that will replace air pumps on my systems.
Aquaponic Fog Unit that I have just completed and in testing mode now.
Have fully working Tower unit with totally enabled IoT features that show case the latest developments in this technology as related to aquaponics.

A lot of aquaponic systems use air pumps. So what is a aquaponic automation simulator without a air pump! Here is how it is handled and how it is connected up. This air pump comes standard on all the versions. The extra air line is for the planned 12V back-up configuration that is part of the pro version. Well underway on that unit and will have details soon.

Well I am into year 2 with my asparagus. The weather in Northern California has been short on rain and very warm. So no surprise that my asparagus is about 2 months ahead of normal. I was thinking that it would be about a month earl as I can control almost all the environmental factors that impact the growth cycle. Just so happy to see that it survived the winter and growing well. You judge for yourself!
