I have been seriously considering the addition of a 55g tank and some freshwater fish to introduce some micro nutrients and keep healthy bacteria flourishing in my grow media to combat root born illnesses... i dont plan on using only the fish poo as nutrients, i will be using standard hydro nutes... ive been running tests in buckets and it looks like some standard 2-3inch goldfish will withstand 1600-1800 ppm water. ive had some setup in a 5 gallon bucket and only 1 has died out of 10 or so... Dont even have a filter, just an airpump stirring up the surface. have any of you cats incorporated aquaponics into your grow? did it add any benefits? I have this bug up my ass about keeping my grow setup like a small environment, with lots of healthy bacteria keeping shit healthy and supplying my plants with a broader spectrum of nutes, besided the standard hydro nutes....
I plan to just have a small dedicated pump to fill a 55 gallon, and on overflow back to the sump... for filtration i will just have a hang on back biowheel filter. i might even used crushed shell/coral to keep the water buffered. Any input and thoughts on this would be awesome... even if its just to tell me how stupid and ridiculous my idea is?
