Hi! I am new to this group.  I have a 4 month old aquaponic system so am new to the whole concept as well.  I have a 650 gal fish tank and two large media beds with hydroton.  Would love to see any existing systems in the area!  Does this group do a "show and tell" ever?

Our first Skagit county visitors came by today! They're the folks sharing their gardens in the sustainable ag tour next week, and at least a couple of them are interested in AP! One really wants to do solar, so I count it as a win for spreading the AP word locally. I hope to really get some interest going from the big tour next week.

Hey all,

Just looking for some good resources on fish introduction, fish care, and figuring stocking density.  I have a few resources but I'm struggling with some understandings.  1lb fish per 5-10 gallons of water, other folks (Bright Agrotech/SRAC) suggest introducing total number of fish to that ratio then feeding them a high amount to get them up to weight.

What have ya'll gone by?

If it's any consolation, I do both (flood and drain and bell siphon).  I have heard that it is easier on a pump to run continuously rather than on/off.  Saying that, I haven't had any problems with my pumps in either system.  The flood and drain has been running two years.  The bell siphon, about 6 months.

Many people make their own bell siphons which would make the cost nominal.  So if this one quits, that's an option.  Lots of DYI stuff on it.

Also just to follow up, I am following the University of Hawaii's autosiphon guide (http://www.simplyhydro.com/BIO-10.pdf) and am thinking of going ahead and going with the specs they provide for a 24 cubic foot bed that holds 180 gallons, and potentially adding a second siphon (table at bottom of page 2).  Anyways, hope all is well with everyone!

Joe
