[Sc-aquaponics] Question of the day

[Tiu, Laura]

We had many great responses to our Question of the Day regarding off-site monitoring of aquaculture/aquaponics systems.  I merged the responses on the attached word document for your convenience and files.  I've also attached a GREAT PowerPoint presentation pertaining to this issue by Dr. Jim Ebeling.  This is for those of you engineering types who LOVE all the techno stuff ;).
Thank you all again for all of the great responses.

Subject: Question of the day

We have a group of students on campus that have designed a small aquaponics system.  The water quality is very stable, and they would like to reduce their time commitment by not feeding or monitoring water quality on the weekends.  They realize the risk, and want to look into some kind of "alarm" system.  Here at Piketon, we use phone dialers with sensors on the water pumps and airlines, but this is too expensive for them (around $600.00).  They are not using supplemental oxygen, so they would like to monitor water flow from the pump, is it on or off.  Any ideas as to how to do this inexpensively?
