1 Module 2 Growing more fish and plants for human consumption and enjoyment Review: Module 1 - Overview What is the rate of flow for a tank or pond? Volume 2x/hr. starting Eventually 1x/hr. 1,000 liter fish tank, pump=1-2,000l/hr Fish density is the stocking rate. What is critical carrying capacity? Total weight of fish stocked in a pond that can be supported without dying Optimum filtration is based on: No. fish Size Weight Feed consumption is most accurate What does a fuse and GFIC do? Fuse protects circuitry (from fire etc.) GFIC protects life (from electrocution) Develop safe reliable system using one pump Utilize gravity Understand head, hp to watts to kwh to cost GFIC required Understanding dissolved oxygen Venturi Sheeting Use Flow form aeration where ever possible Understanding filtration Gravel beds for trapping solids and also for additional biofiltration Ebb and flow Build simple bell siphon prototype Flow through beds NFT- Nutrient film technique Low cost main biofilter First Prototype Plants are for Nitrate removal Ammonia removal CO 2 / carbonic acid production Meet plant fertilizer needs Grow plants in soil if not aquatic Soil based plants - vermicast, cocopeat Dependant on capillary action of potting soil we have ideal materials 50g/m x 3.8L/g x 60m/hr = 11,400 L/hr Head Calibration - calculate actual volume/hr Horsepower 1 hp = 750 watts 1

Most hydroponic plants grow best at a ph of 5.8 to 6.2. The acceptable range for hydroponic systems is 5.5 to 6.5. The ph of a solution affects the solubility of nutrients, especially trace metals. Essential nutrients such as iron, manganese, copper, zinc and boron are less available to plants at a ph higher than 7.0, while the solubility of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and molybdenum sharply decreases at a ph lower than 6.0. Compromise between nitrification and nutrient availability is reached in aquaponic systems by maintaining ph close to 7.0.
