<p>Hi,</p>
<p>thanks for replying. Are goldfish tolerant of temperature swings?</p>

<p>So I would say don't add fish till after you test for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate (that way you will have a baseline)</p>
<p>Then you could do a bit of <a href="http://www.aquaponiclynx.com/fishless-cycling" target="_blank">fishless cycling</a></p>
<p>or you might simply add a goldfish</p>

<p>it's a tiny system so you probably don't want to use more than a very small number of small fish. Choose something that is very hearty and might have a chance of surviving the temperature swings of such a small system.</p> I haven't tested the ph, ammo…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-04-08:4778851:Comment:3172542012-04-08T05:50:33.347ZAllen Jianghttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/AllenJiang
<p>I haven't tested the ph, ammonia, nitrite or nitrates yet. Fish tank is about 50L. Growbed is 25L. Water pumping an hour? Not sure.</p>

<p>Water parameter would be things like</p>
<p>pH</p>
<p>Temperature</p>
<p>ammonia</p>
<p>Nitrite</p>
<p>Nitrate</p>
<p>How big is the fish tank (how many liters or gallons)</p>
<p>How much grow bed (in liters or gallons)</p>
<p>How much water are you pumping per hour.</p>
