No experience but on the face, I'm not in love with the idea. Ammonia from fish urine plus competition for air from multiple ecosystems... get a good pump and filter I suppose...

Nutrients
I’m using fox farm nutrients. How much do I use & do I pour it in my water? Do I ph balance my water after I’ve added it if so? Can I mist nutrients over the leaves or is it only for the soil ? Last, when do I switch from grow big to the others ?

I've seen good reviews for these Vertafort Bloom Tablets (i think they are equal to RQS Easy Bloom Booster). Do you think i can add them to my mix? You can see my setup in the image. Plants are quite good except very few old fan leaves turning yellow/burned. Thanks

PH problems (DWC)
I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?

Hi Growers. I happen to use this product in a kitchen that I run. Its used to preserve palm oil. Do you think this can be used for the plants? It contains magnesium silicate.

FOAM in the DWC tank
Hi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank. I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?

EC value
Hi again! Found this EC table on RQS, according to this I should have an EC of around 2.2 this stage. I feel like this is a bit high. I checked other grows on this forum and I don't see many going over 2. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Calcium in tap water
Is 95mg/L calcium too much in tap water? (It's probably a little lower than that, since that's exit measurement from the waterworks.) I haven't seen any signs of acute calcium toxicity, but I'm worried about buildup.
