<p>Hi Andrew,</p>
<p>I suggest you follow the link i sent you and read/study properly. If you are going to get into Aquaponics you need to know all the right information yourself, so that you can design a good system and avoid running into problems later on. If you don't understand the basic principles yourself, your Aquaponics will give you problems and you are going to make mistakes which you are going to regret later on.…<a style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"></img></a></p>

<p>Hi Andrew,</p>
<p>9 half barrels = 25 gallons x 9 = 225 gallons</p>
<p>1 lb fish per 7 gallons of media</p>
<p>225 divided by 7 = 32 fish</p>
<p>225 gallons of media will support 32 fish at a maximum of 1 lb each, following the rules of thumb</p>

<p>So, 32 fingerlings will eventually growout to become 32 lbs of fish. In my AP this process takes about 6 months. As they grow over a pound each, i then have to start culling/removing fish approx. every month to maintain the original maximum of 32 lbs for my system.
