Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Now something completely different.

The AS i r gonna build is using 55gal tank for fishes and 600lbs of growbeds (separated in 2 sections in each there will be 300lbs of growbeds). Now the question is how many fishes or kg of fish is best to use in this AS? How much water do i need to put in tank? Ill remind you that i am going to use goldfish. I supose this also depends on how many plants will i put in it... But can someone explain these ratios.

Also does it make diference if you put in for example 2 fishes that have weight 0,5kg each, or 10 fishes that have weight 0,1kg each?

I found out that ratio should be like 10kg of fish per 100l of water for heavily stocked systems. So i was thinking about 7ish kg per 100l ?
