Making Across the Curriculum: ECO-Cycle Aquaponics Kit

The project is slowly coming together. Yesterday, the ECO-Cycle Aquaponics Kit arrived!

We’re taking some shortcuts with phase 1 of this project, combining kits where available, in an effort to shorten some of the development time and get to a public roll-out sooner.  Now that we have the actual setup, we can proceed with the final design phases of the tank base, which will include some variation on the nitrogen cycle diagram.  Max Mahoney (Chemistry) has the pH test solutions ready, so hopefully next week we can get the sensor array working.  In other news, I heard from IT, and they’re coordinating with the electricians to complete the network drop when the Library floor is opened up for the electrical work.  Slowly but surely…
