7 and 12

It was good to learn more about how much fish are required to keep the plants alive and many other little details. It's very important that the Bernstein pointed out the fact that these tanks once they're full with water and fish can get really heavy and how you need to take into consideration that weight when you decide to place your system. She also provided us a nice breakdown of some of the systems such as barrelponics or aquabundance. Chapter 12 helped me learn more things about insects than I truly wanted to ever know. It was very intriguing to find out that for pest control you can actually use some insects to do that for you, instead of sprays or other chemicals that would harm any part of the aquaponics system. I'm curious how an insect issue (fingers crossed we don't have to worry about that) arising in Codman would be tackled due to the location of the aquaponics system.
