I am new to aquaponics and thought I would start small this year with a test system. My test system is only a 35 gallon tank with a 32x13x12 grow bed.

I started the system 3 weeks ago and think it might be time to add some fish because my water quality seems to be fairly good. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on the number of bluegill I should limit myself to. I am thinking 6.

Hey

looks like you have about 2.9 cubic feet of GB media... so I would say to be on the safe side you should only put in 2 fish....

after 3 weeks it's probably not completely cycled yet....

On average how long does it take to fully cycle?
