Gallons per fish: does a sweet spot exist? 10 Replies

I heard a rule of thumb recently that you don't want to go much more dense than 4 or 5 gallons per full-grown fish. I assume this has something to do with the amount of nitrifying bacteria available…

Murray Hallam Workshop in Denver

The Aquaponic Source and the Denver Botanic Gardens are co-sponsoring a workshop by my favorite Australian aquaponics guru - Murray Hallam! Murray is a community member and the star of the popular Aquaponics Made Easy and Aquaponics Secrets videos. He is coming to Denver from Australia on September 19th to teach a 6- hour workshop at the Denver Botanic Gardens. This promises to be a fascinating peek into how the Australian masters of aquaponics do what they do so well.

Sign ups are being taken through the Denver Botanic Gardens at this site. Space is very limited, and the DBG just sent out an announcement about this event to their mailing list so I expect it to fill up soon. Don't miss this amazing opportunity!!

For those that went, take a look at the group photo Michael posted and tell him which one you are. We can add names to the caption and give the community a face to put with your name.
