Hi. We are in the process of setting up an aquaponic system in the house on a very small scale. We expect to plant no more than 12 plants and using our 140 gallon fish tank as a water source. We don't have fish in the tank yet, so we will just be using water in a reservoir.
Can anyone assist me in figuring out:
1) what goes in the solution tank? Just the liquids or do we need something else? (We'll have a pump in there)
2) what levels do we test for in the solution? ph? N? O?
3) We're going to have water constantly circulating from the reservoir and over the roots. We have containers with holes in the lid. We were thinking about inserting pvc pipe into each hole to hold each plant. Should we insert wool cubes in the pvc pipe with a piece of screen at the bottom or do you suggest something else?
Thank you for any suggestions you can pass on.
