"Thank you for the encouraging news Harold! The last 3 days the water temps were 70,72 & 73F. How do people raise cooler water fish ( trout, perch) if one needs temps in the 70's to have your bio-filter healthy?"

Joe Jones posted a discussionNew to Aquaponics

We are one of the first extension offices in Texas to have one. I recently attended the first formal class through the extension office and it taught history, budgeting, and the simple construction of a homeowner system. I came…See More

Howdy Y'all,I'm really cheap when it comes to creativity and came across an extremely good deal on 275gal IBC tanks. So good I can't say how much I'll get thumped, and it's a limited supply (I should have about 25 when all is said and done). Instead of making GB out of other material, I'll be chopping the tops and bottoms off many to create them. Each piece is 3'x4' total of 12sqft per half an IBC.Math275gal/7.5gal per cubit ft = 36 2/3cubit ft of water which supports 36 fishesFor the 36…See More

Sheri Schmeckpeper replied to Bayy Quest's discussion New and need advice in the group Arizona Aquaponics"I understand the expanded shale is a great alternative. Unfortunately it's not readily available here in AZ, and shipping is quite costly. Janet, if you can get some easily, do so and count yourself blessed! :)
The IBC will last you many years,…"

"Hi Gregory,
If your temps are high it won't be long before you see the system cycled. With ideal temps it can take as little as one day."

ModeratorHarold Sukhbir replied to John's discussion Low pH from grow media?
"Hi Jon,
Good news I see!
For now you can dose with lime but start looking to source the potassium hydroxide. Lime will build in the system and eventually become saturated causing a "lockout" of other minerals like iron for instance. You…"

Last few days ammonia is getting gobbled up almost every day. Nitrites are high. Does it take some time once the nitrates appear for the nitrites to disappear?
Pat James posted a discussionPacu- revisited
I just ran across a reference to this herbivore (omnivore)... and wondered why it has not taken its place as a contender in the consumer/AP market.I did a search and the comments were all from a few years ago. has anybody tried these fish recently? and if so what are the advantages/pitfalls? Not to mention how they taste.See More
