4. Composition of substrate in plant growing boxes
5. Local Aquaponic specialist shops
6. Suitable plants for Aquaponics, are they still governed by seasonal conditions like vegetables we plant in the ground?

- Cost effective heating options
- Fish stocking levels
- What types of filtration is required (other than plant beds)?
- Does timed starting/stopping of pumps have an effect on ammonia levels?
- pH levels affected from water running through plants and media filled beds?

Have had a bit a read of the backyard aquaponics forum,
Would like to know how the pumps handle being turned on and off so frequently, Does this shorten their life span?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to flooding the grow bed every 10min vs every 30min just for eg.

place something under it?
aim the return at the side of the tank so it runs down the glass.
mail them some earplugs.
This talk will be good, setting up an AP system in a few weeks, trout ordered for june!
