    Nigel,

    I'm posting a bunch of literature on the technique on our website, BrightAgrotech.com.  Click on the "Downloads" link at the bottom of the page.  I'll be adding literature over the next couple weeks.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    Hi Nigel,

    A while back i saw and ad in the paper where Lowes ships to T'ad. Go online and look at their international section, you can order it there and they ship directly. Personally I'm using the 1" eps and after 3 1/2 mths they are fine. If you look at peter's post(under foam in raft group) you'll see he's been using 1" eps hydroponically for 4 years without issues. I also think the 1" gives a better/slightly faster grow-out.

    Hi Nigel,

    I looked for foam in Lowes here in Houston yesterday and all they had was 3/4.  Where did you find 2"?

    Also do you use 2" net pots for all of your growing?

    How did you determine how many fish to add to your system since you have xx amount of gallons in your tank and you also have water in your raft system.  Is the water in the raft system part of the calculation?

    Nigel,

    Sorry to hear about your mishap. Hope you get some new fish soon and move ahead.

    I'll be sure to check my okra roots, when I remove them.
