I'm curious as to what the OP has against H202.

It really really depends on the type of nute and the amount. I'm not a finicky fish keeper; I don't monitor water conditions, have an undersized filter, but I have massive amounts of dirt and plants in my tanks that operate as a massive biological filter - very similar to the algae they use in...

Matt - what I was trying to say is that Chinese mantis are NOT foreign bugs. They were once upon a time, but so were horses, cows, pigs, wild boar (yes "wild" boar are an introduced species)... European mantis can be ordered from that site I linked you to on your other thread. They are...

Finding native mantis can be a bitch. Most mantis readily available for pest control are the Chinese Mantis. Don't be fooled by the name, they were introduced to the US pre 1900 and for the most part are what you likely see when you see wild mantis. I'd say I spot 3 Chinese mantis for every...

Fish shit kills fish... You know that right? That's why you need to have filters on fish tanks - to clean up the fish shit... I have quite a few aquariums, none are sterile; all mud bottom planted tanks... I feel bad for your fish. And before you go on about fish living in human shit...

Bad idea... Fish want a maxiumum of 50 ppm nitrate, less than 1ppm nitrite, less than .5 ppm phosphate... Unless your running your hydro with no nutes in it, it is not good for the fish, whether they are organic nutes or not has no impact.

Thats rough man. Wish you were closer.

I'm sure it'll do the job...but ouch. That's rough man. Wish you lived closer.

That should do it. I've been dying to try hydro but never had a good place to do it (terrified of spills/leaks), big RDWC system would be my choice to start out with as well. Should be fun :)

Not useless - but I want to say it's really hot and needs to be mixed with quite a bit of compost. Most all shit can be used as fertilizer - I know at least one local city that sells pelletized human waste as fertilizer.

hehe, i live in a smaller house in the middle of a city and I have a greenhouse and chickens. Fuckers wont let me have goats and pigs though - unless I get a pot belly pig and designate it my pet, but then I can't eat it...

Even in a tube the O2 sill separate from the water. Did you check out that link i posted above? from what I understand its all about lots and lots of water movement and cold water - the temp of the water is pretty vital in under current/recirculating DWC setups - massive effect on how much O2...

Yes you can get away from a single res but the further the water travels the more time O2 has to escape. There is a great thread on UCDWC somewhere around here. Let me find it for you. ***Here it is - https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/478010-flowering-undercurrentdwc.html

Well technically you can dose straight potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate but you need to be really really careful. Think about it this way - typical DWC runs at 600-1200ppm. Aquaponics want to stay below 50ppm for healthy fish with anything over 100 being dangerous (Nitrate levels), as...

I think it is going to be a fairly difficult somewhat futile experiment although cool none the less. Without control over P and K levels and only minimal control over N levels they will likely grow pretty straggly with much more vegetation than buds. Not sure if you've ever grown a plant...

What are you planning on growing with the aquaponics? Cannabis or veggies?

If you like nerding out DIALux is a must have imo. Just too much fun. Let me know if you want these pics removed - i feel like I've been spamming your thread with random garbage recently

Oh yeah it was radeon, not otto that I saw getting into it. I use DIALux which is actually a lighting program. It's totally free and most major lighting manufactures submit their specs so you can calculate everything legitimately. If you don't care to use if for lighting and just want a 3d...

My simple 1 pump plan for outdoor aquaponic ebb and flow - no timer/air stones necessary. So the pump would be in the lower rectangular res and pump into the large circular tank. An overflow would trickle into the smaller round tank with the fish oxygenating their water. Another overflow...

Definitely need to start making small diffused oil rigs kitty - super hot item right now and they are surprisingly hard to find with a nice one of a kind custom touch versus the generic (kinda like I have - although a very nice generic). Although I'll be slightly annoyed if you are successful...
