Does anyone out there have experience introducing azomite into their aquaponics system?

If so, what was the concentration of you used? (i.e., tablespoons/gal or liter)

Thanks

So was that 2 tablespoons per 1500 liters?

I have been using Azomite for about 7 months.
I use it in my chicken feed, and also when I make fish food.
I have added one tablespoon to my fish tank few times.

The result I have seen with my hens is good. The egg production this year is much better than last year.

I remember someone posting about it years ago... and then posting that they wouldn't use it due to the Arsenic content...

I also seem to recall... a check of the website confirms... that it's pH is 8.0...

I'd only look at adding if you have deficiencies..

Yea Rupe...I've read those...and I think if you follow that thread, the conclusion is that everyday soil has more arsenic than the azomite.
