Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

In case anybody is reading this. For me adding mealworm frass is working brilliantly so far BUT it does cause a small spike in Ammonia and Nitrite if I add too much. Highly depends on your biofilter BSA. But the theory definitely works and the frass desolves reasonably well and boosts the Nitrates. I add it into a plastic teabag 0.2micron tahts hanging in the biofilter.

My System has Fish in it too. I just use the frass as a boost.

My 300L system with about 60L of Helix media can handle about 1/2-1 teaspoon of frass per day. without a spike. If I dose more per time period i get a small spike. So this of course very highly depends on your system.
Just as a reference in case anybody is reading this.

I absolutely love the mealworm breeding. They are delicious to eat (very crispy, peanuty, mcdonald fries type of taste, believe it or not ), very low carbonfootprint to produce your own protein at home, the fish love it too and their frass can be used to boost the system. its a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN.

If anybody has any questions in relation to mealworms etc I would be delighted to help and give more info. Been doing it for nearly a year now and adding frass since 6 months.

I'd probably do similar to what BuiDoi and build a digester and just skim off and add the water from it so you are only adding clean water without solids in it.
