Yep, the kale really took off in the CF. We grow so much we didn't know what to do with it all... The GP are still living off it.

Cheers mate.

Ultimately it all depends on what your growing.
Basil grows best in the DWC I've found as apposed to the NFT.
Parsley grows better in the NFT but is best in the CF GB. I've found Kale grows amazingly in the CF GB too.
I've actually just removed the NFT from the system because it hasn't been very impressive overall.

Well... All my fish are dead! Except one. I can home this evening to find my pump in the sump tank shooting water against the bottom of the growbed above it instead of into the piping which had come loose! I'm very disappointed, 27 fish dead. I'm assuming the drowned because the Venturi (I know right!) that was connected to the main flow was off due to the disconnection. 8 of the fish are too small to eat but the other 18 are good enough, the biggest of which is 23cm at 246grams.

So... Its time to start over, I'm going to use an air stone in the FT this time. And put a zip-tie on the hose going into the pump. Any other suggestions?

Also I'm looking for a different kettle of fish, SP just take too long to grow due to winter. Any suggestions here?

Bugger! It's a real shame as they look like they were getting close to eating size. Can u try jade perch? They are faster growing than SP

Ok, so after all my fish died, and having ordered another 25 Jade Perch which will arrive on Wednesday, I've done a bit of a clean and salted the system. I have rebuilt the Floating Raft in the DWC. As well as harvest the majority of the GBs. The question is, what to grow next??

While I have had great results with Basil in the DWC, the lettuce did very poorly, any advice as to why this was? I've also been contemplating putting an air stone in the DWC, any thoughts on this? :think:
