Backyard Aquaponics class notes



Random notes I scribbled down. I hope I remember what it all means =p

- Fish tastes like what you feed it.
- 1" fish per gallon
- Dechlorinate water with aeration for 3 days to remove chlorine.
- 1 gallon = 8 lbs
- Its easier to put the fish at the bottom and pump up to the filter/growbeds. In an event of a power outtage, all the water will not pump out.
- Before eating fish/prawns, tranfer to purging tank to clean
- Tilapia takes 10 months to reach 1lb, 18 months for 3 lbs.
- A plywood saw blade on a circular saw cuts thru plastic 55 gallon tanks.
- By law, you are now required to have a 4" air break - no reverse syphon if power goes out.
