sticky posted a discussionAdding waste to growbeds??
One of the many youtube vids i watched to intro myself to AP featured a well known and highly respected aquapon from down under talking about burying waste in his grow bed. He would take damaged fruit from his plants and bury it in the grow bed basically to feed the worms in the beds.Well i just managed to kill all my goldfish ( i think i crashed the pH to fast), and so i find myself with about 30 or so dead goldfish wandering if i could bury them in my growbeds. My has wanted my dead fish in…See More

Jason A. replied to Louise's discussion What's good on a raft?"Adding air is a good thing but don't provide an air gap between your roots and the water. Keep the bottom of the net cup or whatever you are using submerged not the whole net cup just some of the bottom.

Jason A. replied to R.K. Castillo's discussion Filter After Siphon?"How many fish do you have? How much are you feeding? That looks like a lot of fish poop. Maybe try a deeper media bed and also a swirl filter that drains into your media then have your media bed drain into your raft."
sticky replied to Verna Gross's discussion Fish not eating"Do you have a lot of algae in your tank.
When i bought my tilapia, the breeder said watch the fish eat when i first put them in the tank. He said that if they don't eat very well at first they might be eating the algae in the tank. If there is…"

Jason A. replied to Louise's discussion What's good on a raft?"You can pretty much grow anything you want in a raft system as long as you provide support for the plant and it doesn't become to heavy and push the raft under the water.
