Instead of requiring 2 bacteria, can we utilize 1 instead?<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQ5NDUwIn19@&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Read More&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#21c4b1&#8243; button_border_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.21)&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|800|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Sensors &amp; Monitoring Researchers Needed Spring 2020&#8243; url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQ5NDUxIn19@&#8221; image=&#8221;http:\/\/centers.harrisburgu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/aquaponics-cc.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;url&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]This project involves the design and implementation of technology that will regularly take measurements within the aquaponics environment.
