    I have seven comet goldfish in a 20 gallon tank. Perhaps I should consider switching fish food to the Tetra 14 day tabs.

    Sounds like a lot of trial and error. What kind of fish?

    @SnailPowered, out of curiosity, what kind of fish (and fish food) are you using? The reason I ask is because your plants seem to be getting all of the necessary nutes without having to add anything else. In my case, I've been having to add epsom salt as well as maxicrop plus. My having to add...

    Organic nutes though, right?

    Hey @grouch, is it possible (advisable) to foliar feed with maxicrop, epsom salts etc. I have no need to ..yet. Just wondering about what to do when/if my plant starts showing signs of deficiencies.

    Thanks, @grouch! I'll probably be leaning on you at some point.

    All set up for aquaponics. A 20 gallon fish tank in the lower chamber and a 20 gallon grow bed up top. Seedlings (tomato) are in the Aerogarden waiting for the first set of true leaves to develop before I transplant.

    From what I've seen, some people's systems require the amendments. If I fall into that category, I'd like to have the amendments on hand rather than wait until I see a deficiency In Amazon's Q+A section for Maxi Crop, people say that it can be used in AP with no issues. This site lists it...

    Dumb question but organic amendments like Cal Mag and Maxi Crop can be added directly to the fish tank, if need be?

    Definitely. There seems to be more naysayers than people that are producing and posting with positive results. Speaking of positive results ... http://www.420magazine.com/forums/completed-journals/232101-sams-drz-aquaponics-mixed-strain-grow-journal-2014-a.html

    This site needs a definitive aquaponics thread that contains all of the basic questions, answers and suggestions. I asked about creating a specific sub-forum (linked here) but the admins won't have it. Search results for 'aquaponics' tend to lead to short-lived ventures and general questions...

    Haha! I look forward to the day when I have roots reaching the bell siphon (I'm still in the process of getting up and running) ..On another note, I built one of these mini swirl filters using a small rubbermaid pitcher. Then I took it out because I wanted to add worms that would eat the fish...

    This guy seems really concerned about the time it takes to flood and drain but all that's gonna change once he gets some media in the beds. I'm sure he probably knows that by now.

    Nothing wrong with tomato info. That's all I really care to grow at this point in time.

    Here's a good video that demonstrates how it works. Not all bell siphons require the extra tubing / aspirin bottle, but they do require a little minor tweaking in order to get it set just right for your application.
