Harold Sukhbir replied to Ariel Scott's discussion How many goldfish to add
"Hi Ariel, The ratios from the rules of thumb are 1 lb of fish per 4 gallons water. As gold fish are smaller you can increase the numbers as long as you don't go over the ratios, which in your case should be approx 9 lbs of fish. So the system…"

"Well Jim-   According to the question that sunset asked, what you are doing is just replacing the oem base with a wooden Floor.  How does this address the problem of lowering the FT because it is too high for sunset??.   All my FT…"

Christian Skierski commented on Rick Stillwagon's blog post Aquaponics & Economics

"Very cool. 'Clean'-ish water seems pretty important for NFT to work well long term in AP (or organic hydro where you also have solids and fines to deal with)... 3-5 degrees seems like a bit much (not that it might not work just fine or…"
