I am getting ready to start my production greenhouse and was talking to a fellow organic farmer. When discussing aquaponics he mentioned about lack of trace minerals in the vegetables. Would the sea-90 water soluble trace minerals be detrimental to the fish? Also he mentioned Brix testing. Has anyone done any Brix testing on their produce? Just some questions.

I think DanDMan may use sea 90. I expect that the sea 90 is probably safe for fish so long as you are only dosing to appropriate salt levels for the particular species of fish. Most plants will suffer from too much salt before most types of fish.

Yeah, "brix" gets trotted out here and there... and Brix meters are readily available... essentially they measure plant sugars... and supposedly plant "minerals"...

Problem is ... nobody really seems to know just how to correlate the results, although there are suggested values for certain crops... it's more a matter of nobody really seems to be able to correlate the results or suggested values... with what's required to obtain them... especially in AP....

The other problem... is try relating Brix readings to anything else... like pH, EC, salinity etc...

just a solar dehydrated sea water from some place that gets a seasonal inundation of sea water and then it dehydrates in the sun for a season with no rain so supposedly most of the trace nutrients are retained relative to places that get more rain.

I'll send over some salt from here - feels like it hasn't rained here since the late 90's :evil:

another trick is to take a pump and pump saltwater right into a tank, take it home and use that instead of sea-90....its FREE.... :headbang: i even us sea-90 to season some of my food 8)
