Cory Cramer replied to Wally Roderick's discussion Solid Waste Removal"I'm using goldfish. But if it's just a matter of seeing the eggs, you could always use a black gravel, or perhaps no gravel, and just set the trays in the bottom with nothing on top. I don't have any direct experience doing this, but…"

I've been trying to design a descent solids remove system for a couple years now, but I haven't quite got anything I'm completely happy with yet. Gonna start some…"

"I have a small test system similar to this, and it's working well so far in a south window."
Cory Cramer replied to moonyguy's discussion High Nitrates"I wouldn't worry much about the aquaponics end. The nitrates will be used up pretty fast.
