    Thank you for putting this information out here. It has taken a lot of research just to find you. The information is in the process of helping me set up my first system. I havent found anyone near me who has tried.

    Hello, I'm new to your forum, thanks for these 101 articles. I have not read all of the posts yet so this might get answered later, but I'll ask while I'm thinking about it.
    I'm interested in growing trout instead of Tipila, and I have unlimited well water at 57 degrees. Can I do a once through system instead of a recirculating system? This would give the trout the cool water they prefer.

    it is the nitrates that the plants want and the trout don't. trout are raised in close system quite frequently. to build up the nitrates to the levels necessary you would have to have a very slow dilution system. not open flow.

    Fish generally aren't bothered by nitrate levels. However, the ammonia and nitrite can kill the fish. These products convert to nitrate eventually, but until they do they are toxic to the fish at high concentrations.
