AQUAPONIC LYNX LLC

TCLynx finally took the plunge and has started a business in aquaponic services. System design, installation, and sales of related products. In addition to Aquaponic gardens, I can help with drip irrigation, wicking beds, worm bins, compost bins and related things.

New ideas for the future of our food. Please use the form below to contact me if you are interested in Aquaponics. This is a new site and will be undergoing extreme changes in the near future.

Please have some patience with me as I try to expand. Well wait no, you don't have to, if you are eager, just click here

to send me a message and I'll work with you directly, no need to wait till I've perfected a web page. (As if it's possible to perfect.)

Aquaponics Indexing valves!!!!!!

valve

The valves come in three different sizes. 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" They also come in a few different bodies. 4 outlets, 6 outlets, 8 outlets (only in 1" though) There are cams that can be installed in the valves to allow them to operate different numbers of outlets. For example the 4 outlet body can be cammed to run 2, 3 or 4 outlets and one would simply cap off the unused outlets if any.

Now I have some buttons

I guess I better let you view your cart.

While I am still in the process of building this new business you can order valves, feeders, pumps or any other products I add by contacting me through the form at the bottom of the page. I will e-mail back and answer questions as well as make arrangements directly with you. Subject line will say Re:Message from Aquaponic Lynx LLC. For the time being, I can take payments through paypal or if you are local (Central Florida) we can work something else out.


Pumps

I can sell Lifeguard Aquatics products. Lifeguard has a wide range of products but I haven't really reasearched many of them yet. Here is the info on the line of Quiet One pumps, if one of these pumps suits your situation let me know Quiet One Pumps

Quiet One 4000 Pond Pump $69.98

This is the smallest pump I have managed to operate an indexing valve with. So far I can only recommend it for the 1 1/4" 4 outlet Valve body though, it seems able to run either the regular aquaponics stem or the Gravity stem.

Quiet One 5000 Pond Pump $99.98

This pump is a bit more powerful and was able to operate both the 4 and 6 way bodies of the 1 1/4" indexing valves but the 6 way valve required the gravity stem for this pump to operate it on my test set up.

Quiet One 6000 Pond Pump $118.98

So far this valve has been able to engage all 1 1/4" versions of the indexing valves as well as the 1" 6 way valve and 1 1/2" 4 way valve.


Automatic Feeders

If interested in a fish feeder or any other type of pet feeder let me know cause I can supply them.
Feeder

A medium pet feeder is $128.99

I have three of these myself but they are not meant for outdoor use so must be protected from the weather.

Pond feeders

pond Feeder The pond feeders cost more but are low voltage for outdoor use and come with a cover to protect them from weather. The Medium pond feeder is $179.99

The timers are great.

Timer They have 8 on/off programs per day like many digital timers but the really cool part with these timers is they can control down to the second. The timers are $22.99.


There are other products if people are interested (like small aquarium or bird feeders and filtered pet water fountains so if I havn't mentioned something you are interested in, please ask.)

Aquaponics Systems

I am still in the process of working out what products are most appropriate but in the mean time (until I can work out more inexpensive methods) I can offer the following in Florida.

Anyone interested in a very basic aquaponics system with 300 gallons of fish tank and 300 gallons of gravel filled grow bed for $3000 (Could support up to 30 lb of fish the first season and up to 60 lb of fish once mature.) Let me know. I could do a more complex system that could support double the fish load and produce double the veggies for $6000.

I am currently testing out Zipgrow towers for a small front porch system as well as a hybrid 300 gallon system.


Grow Beds

Still working on this one but tell me if you like the looks of this. Grow bin

Fish Tanks

I've got a few ideas here

Vertical systems

As noted above I am testing out some Zipgrow towers and I will hopefully be able to provide commercial system design and install for vertical systems in the near future. If interested let me know. small towers
