I work on the campus of Purdue University today and was allowed to take away approximately 35 Tiliapia out of a patch of at least 100 left over from a research project and slated for termination.

TCLynx replied to Ian Thompson's discussion My System, coming online"Keep the water well aerated and the worms will be fine even in constant flood. They don't need air they actually breathe dissolved oxygen through their skin and they can do that just fine under water as long as there is plenty of…"
Ian Thompson replied to Ian Thompson's discussion My System, coming online"Yeah, that is a bummer. I saw in another post (I think it was you) that you recommended to someone a constant flow set up and said that very few plants seemed to struggle under such conditions. I really want to minimize heating requirements…"

TCLynx replied to Ian Thompson's discussion My System, coming online"I don't know, bluegill may be easier to get than you think. You might have to drive out to a fish farm when they have some available but I get mine for like 30 cents each where as you will probably be mail ordering tilapia so once the…"
Ian Thompson replied to Ian Thompson's discussion My System, coming online"Right, I had thought about blue gill too...I am still worried about slow nitrogen mineralization...I have dehumidifier on premise already. Thanks for your input!
