Weird... are they still using power while they glow like that? Do they glow all night? Old CRT televisions would glow for 30 minutes or so after they were shut off, due to the phosphors in the screen. I wondered if CFL does it too, but I haven't noticed.
So it looks like my LED panels are staying in the veg zone for now!
My question to you is will plants grow well in a system that's in the 50s? I have read often that there's a limit to low temps and a plant's ability to actually utilize nutrients present.
Ok, I've found a fantastic site dedicated to aquaponics, and am viewing a video on micro and filamentous algae control methods. One of the things they're using is some humic acid from Kelp4Less (a few people here have posted links to that site) in order to darken the water. Actually, he's discussing a whole bunch of things on management, you should just read/view yourself. :D

now that is a sustainable way to run hydro! been thinking about gettin into aquaponics. haven't quite convinced myself yet. but yer results are pretty sweet bro, def an incentive!

I'm personally tired of chasing my nutes all over the place- this is exactly the kind of fault tolerant system I've been looking for, and as a bonus I get to eat fish!
Can you do this with any type of freshwater fish? An amazing concept. A quick Google search tells me it works well outdoors too. Food, fertiliser and weed all from the one system. It doesn't really get much better than that!

Not all freshwater fish can be produced in captivity, but there are plenty of both warmwater and coldwater varieties that will do nicely.
You think this is a symbiotic idea, just you wrap your head around using an outside fish tank to not only nutrify but also manage climate in your operation.
In other words, I'm building an AC system with fish in it. The chiller would only be for backup.
