If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply): I've just started. The system is built but I've been having trouble with my water and killed some minnows. It's a basic flood and drain. Tomorrow I plan to remove chloramine with sodium ascorbate and reintroduce fish on Sunday.

Please tell us something else about yourself.: I was a construction worker for 18 years. Now I have 16 acres to work with and am building an organic farm. Aquaponics is just a small part of the projects I've taken on.
