I have a 5x5 gorilla grow tent. Specs inside are 8000 BTU portable Air Conditioner, along with Ebb and flood drain table setup, i light this tent up with a 880 solar storm, simple set up, but not trial and error, as I have about 5 years indoor cultivating experience with no successful harvest till this day. But That does not mean I do not smoke. *wink.. I am here to tell you about my current setup, I use a Carp to feed my plants. If you would like to know more please look up Aquaponics. I specifically use koi to Raise my plants. But Here The down part. Koi's are very hardy fish, but you still have to give them a good environment to thrive, Such as beneficial bacteria in the water , similar to what Plants like. So they both Share a chain reaction. So instead on NPK A.k.a. Petroleum Based Nutrient. I use Koi waste to transfer from the reservoir to the flood the table at a desired level. Thus the water is actually recirculating at the minimal amount of space. I use a 60 GPH Pump to Recirculate a 3x3 flood tray @ 2 inch water level. The base of the stock is above water but the roots must be beneath. As long as You Root them in a aeroponic cloner before any hydroponic setup. You will be fine, But You must consider Relative Humidity and Temperature while adding sufficient amount of air for the fish in the 40Gallon Reservoir. Before I end this message I would like to let everyone know my own little secret. Koi fish really dont like a sterile environment such as 0 ppm water or Ro water. Through my trials I have saved most kois by adding and diluting HOUSE AND GARDEN Algen Extract. Or any type of Seaweed extract diluted in another bucket should be safe. I try to stay away from synthetic materials in this process. Allow the fish to take care of the plants. Oh Did I forget to mention I have a 400 gallon Portable Pond IN my Garage. My 5 inch Koi will have an expected outgrow of a 40 gallon reservoir within 6months - 1 year. Here Are the proofs below...
Oh YEah I forgot , You gon Need GOO Filtration and preferably UVB from ebay will help your water keep fresh and tasty(for fish and plants) without ever cleaning your tank. My Garage Tank is 2 and half years old. Should explain the algae. But I have a 1400 Gallon Pressure UVB Filter That is keeping them alive and healthy. Did I mention Air pump pump is just as important as filtration. Dont forget to feed fish and give them light As well. 8 - 14 hours day light. I prefer Flourocents T5 VHO.
They jump out of water if you dont know how to keep efficient water to raise them in . Please Put a net over your Tank , They like to jump @ terrible water conditions.
