Figure eventually I will create a new thread, but, until then, I will just update this one so to have all the information in one concise location.

For those interested wanting to know the ins-and-outs of how to efficiently doing it without wasting time browsing forums, the below products I highly recommend:


Cornell University - Recirculating Aquaculture (RAS) - Distance Course
http://fish.bee.cornell.edu/distance-course/

The book you get with this is absolutely a must have and an excellent reference book. The course is quite intense and you are allowed to submit questions to the instructors. Timmons and Ebelling are spending their life to improve the RAS industry and made many contributions. I very highly recommend this.


Online College of Aquaponic Engineering and Design
http://www.collegeofaquaponics.com/

This is done by Chatterson Farms (Ryan Chatterson, https://www.facebook.com/ChattersonFarms).

Just launched a week or so ago... However, from those whom were able to go to his farm for one of his classes, they have ranked the content up there with Timmons and Ebelling and Mr. Van der Werf. I bet the online course will be just as stellar.


Definitely checking them out.
