No worries Bruce and I'm sure you have a lot on your plate as far as running a dental business. Just seems like some minor changes to your system could up your carrying capacity and reduce your water changes. I.e., a self cleaning center drain and side drain run to some kind of diy filter would remove your solids for you. Then a dedicated biofilter (also diy) would keep all your nitrogen parameters except nitrates at zero. And of course keeping your water temp in optimum range. Once you do that you would be amazed at the growth rates of panfish in a tank.
My 200 YP YOY in less than 200 gallons of water are now pushing 10 inches. Not sure one would even get that in a pond.
Higher water temps also make the fish hungrier and more apt to feed train.
As far as aquaponics and the redworms I'm not sure that is a viable option especially indoors. Just thought I'd throw it out there for the other aquaponic people to chime in on.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
