    as for the filter those 2 50 gallons maybe not enough depending on the material in the filter should be dependent on load. And load comes from the amount of food pushed into the system. generally 3% of feed is converted so 10kg of feed = 300g of load daily and your system should be setup to...

    Bass are very easy to keep they are monster feeders to they can consume fish 1/2 there body size they grind the fish in their mouths and scales fly out their gills. I use trapdoor snails for cleanup in the tank because they are monsters and 1 snail can clean a 25 gallon tank in about 2 hours...

    Yes I just drop a big chunk of limestone in that I usually pick up from the springs near my house around the size of a fist. Piranha may not be the best candidates for predatory fish simply because they leave behind some organic material from their frenzy style feeding. This will end up making...

    spiral nozzles

    Yeah I have heard of them the problem with them is that they work to well and put a heavy load on the wet/dry biofilter creating spikes and swings through the ammonia->nitrite -> nitrate process. So instead I use a predator tank, tilapia tank, trapdoor snail tank swirl radial filter tank to...

    spiral nozzles

    well so far Ive been running it solid for about a year and 1/2 without a water change. The flavors are stronger in the plants than reg hydro or dirt. I also get the added bonus of having free food for 8 months. I love aquaponics and in conjuction with vertical aero its pretty awesome. Ill be...

    Aquaponics - let the fish be your nutrient!

    yes they will eat algae and regular pellet food too so when you need low P and K you can feed high amount pellet food or algae and low amount of live feed etc and in flower you can feed mostly live feed like worms and other stuff and almost 0 pellet feed because live feed will carry everything...

As with your issues of deficiency and what not remember this "what goes in must come out" This is one of those things that will seem like common sense after you read it. Your fish needs certain minerals to live, calcium to build bones...
