Say in a 10 acre pond with Tilapia.
The Hawaii Aquaculture & Aquaponics Association is the statewide producers’ organization. Its mission is to foster the development of commercial aquaculture production in Hawaii.
Is anyone interested in Diatom Algae.We use diatoms to solve many problems - provide oxygen to fish and shrimp, keep ponds and lakes clean and to provide food to fish and shrimp.
We grow diatoms directly in the fish and shrimp ponds using our pate…
Algae are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds (wiki)
Would growing Diatoms in water be regarded as aquaponics.
We can grow diatoms directly in the fish ponds, these are very good food for the fish and they consume nutrients like any other plant.
Diatoms also give huge amounts of oxygen directly in t…
Thanks Benny, but my question is whether anyone is using Diatoms.
We cause the diatom bloom using our patented nano silica micro nutrient powder - NUALGI.
This works in both salt water and freshwater.

would this be of help?
A synthetic seawater medium formulated for the culture of algae in laboratory conditions. The formula contains macronutrients such as nitrate and phosphate, as well as, silicate when used in the culture of diatoms. Three form…
