Any experience? It is 1% iron phosphate, not sure what the other 99% inert ingredients are. Iron and phosphate both hold promise of benefitting AP, not sure of the risk of toxicity when applied modestly on a dry-topped media bed. Poisonious & allelopathic plants in Aquaponics?tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-01-02:4778851:Topic:2716372012-01-02T17:54:28.224ZMike Creuzerhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/creuzerm
<p>I am setting up an small aquarium based ornamental aquaponics system in my daughters room to act as a humidifier and to grow some of the 'house plants that clean the air' to address allergy concerns.</p>
<p>It occurred to me, that a great many house plants are poisonous.</p>
<p>I've read several accounts on blogs where people have had large fish-kills due to leaves or berries falling into their tanks/ponds this last year.</p>

<p>I am setting up an small aquarium based ornamental aquaponics system in my daughters room to act as a humidifier and to grow some of the 'house plants that clean the air' to address allergy concerns.</p>
<p>It occurred to me, that a great many house plants are poisonous.</p>
<p>I've read several accounts on blogs where people have had large fish-kills due to leaves or berries falling into their tanks/ponds this last year.</p>
<p><em>Has anybody had any issues with poisoning their fish?</em></p>
<p>I have found lists of plants that are poisonous to fish on-line, but they are a bit vague. They don't mention what parts of the plants are poisonous to the fish. Also, we are in uncharted territory as we may be perfectly capable of growing some fish poisonous plants in AP with no ill effect until a leaf falls into the system.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This then brings into question plant to plant interactions with <span id="cleanprint_content">allelopathic</span> plants. <em>Do plants like fennel grow fine in aquaponics without retarding the other plants growth like they do in dirt?</em></p>
<p></p>
<p>Are there any resources online regarding this that is relevant to us?</p>
