Anyone read much reddit? they have a section on AP now.. http://www.reddit.com/r/aquaponics/

Man there's alsorts of advice happening on there..

Quote:
A rule of thumb for the health if the fish is to have twice the volume of the tank pumped out an hour

Quote:
The way I figure it it comes down to the volume of water required to correctly start and stop the siphon... Get the siphon working and let the rest work itself out with what you've got available.

Quote:
We use pond snails in our DWC to keep the roots clean.


What's the best thing about the internet? It allows everyone to get out there and offer their opinion, it gives everyone a voice to be heard..

One poor guy had dirty water, hadn't cleaned his media very well and he's been told to:

Quote:
Dump all the water, take a colander and violently rinse off your media one colander at a time. Wipe down and rinse out your tanks and try again.
Man, that would be depressing..

About the only good advice I could find on there are a link back to BYAP for SLO designs and another link to the IBC of Aquaponics site.

Hi EB
I do read reddit quite a lot, the more specific subreddits the most, and I must say the AP one is the worse.. All kind of advice and ideas. The only times I've expressed something was to plug BYAP (as a whole or a specific thread)..

The one thing that worries me is how most people say you should "fertilize" the FT with chicken droppings / rabbit poo, and someone actually suggested installing a bat box over the FT to "harvest" the droppings. :dontknow: :think: :( :naughty:
