| Post subject: | Aquaponics is my new calling. |
Hello, I am excited to finally be posting here, I have been reading all of your posts for months now. I was turned on to aquaponics about two months ago, and scince then have built my first back yard rig, and have helped a buddy make one too. My first system has a 20gal fish tank and about 20 gal of grow bed. 1:1 ratio is working well. I have been testing the water frequently and my amonia level peaked about two weeks ago. Scince then I feel like my system has really taken off. My current test levels are Amonia 0, Nitrate 10, Nitrite 0.5, and my PH is 7.4. Right now I have gold fish and am growing cabbage, peas, brussle sprouts, and a mescaline green mix. In the last week or so, scince I think my system has been cycling, my plant growth has been extraordinary. I am now in the planning stages of my next system. I would like to have about a 300gal tank to grow trout, and continue using a 1:1 ratio for my beds. Again thank you to everyone posting here. This site has been a huge help. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed and apreciated. thanks, Justin Columbus, Ohio US |

Always great to have another AP'er. My eyes bugged out when I saw 0, 10, 0.5 though. Most people post in the order of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate  .
