Aquaponics construction has started at Anekona

In lieu of starving if the status quo is not maintained, Anekona is building a 1024 sq ft aquaponics system. We visited Aquaponics No Ka Oi in Kahului to see how Patty and Larry have been doing it for the past 3 years. Their system, No Ka Oi, is based around a 512 sq system, but there are a lot of “add ons,” like an ebb and flow bed, bio-filters, and the nursery.

Wesley Chun, the plant expert.


Hmmm… Fish provide the plant nutrients, not chemicals? Yes, it’s more of an art than a science.
Bryson (right), a master carpenter, is part of the construction team.


Ivo, of Wildco Construction and the contractor for the construction (and of all of Anekona), measure and lasers to pull strings for the outlines of the vegetable troughs.
