  I only got my first Aquaponic Bluegill this past spring so I don't have experience with breeding them in an aquaponics system yet (Haven't even eaten one from the system yet as they are still a bit small.)  I do know some one who was raising Bluegill in a swimming pool and he said they did breed and I don't think he bothered with sand or gravel in the bottom of the pool.

  I wouldn't use Sure To Grow in a vertical pipe with indented pockets.  You'll never get the stuff to stay in place...it will all eventually sag down into the bottom of the pipe.  Also, in a vertical arrangement I think you will have trouble with solids building up too quickly and plugging up the pipe at one of the first indentations.  Sure To Grow is almost like peat moss or coir...it is VERY absorbent/wicking like a sponge!  Maybe the 'cubes' are different though?  I've only tried the loose fill; I'm not sure if the 'cubes' hold their shape and stay cubic once they are fully soaked.
