Hopefully rot and mold don't get me. But like D said, I might actually get blue Blue Dream.

Here! Here! to the fish tank water! I have a pond, but the durned thing is so big that I can't get the fish poo as concentrated as it would have been in the aquarium I gave away.
I had a 1,000 gallon outside pond but when I bought the farm I didn't want the hassle of caring for Koi in town. I gave away my fish and filled in the pond. Ponding's been much less labor since.
Canyon,
Stocking density recommendations can be found on line. They use 'inches of fish/gallon' as the measure. But that's for a fully recirculating, functioning system. You just want to use aquarium water when cleaning/changed out.
I used to keep a bunch of Neon Tets, Tiger Barbs, several Angels and and a couple Gold Nugget Pleco's in a 60 gallon. Love the Pleco's.
Tilapia is probably the most popular choice in aquaponics because they are hardy and grow fast. Perch is also very popular. Catfish is another popular choice, but you have to choose tank shape carefully for them because they'll give themselves sores if there is a corner they nose into and work at. Koi work too. Fresh water shrimp and other aquatic creatures too.
6k gallons is a lot. I had planned on rehabbing/building my clay 'soil' by using compost and home made fish hydrosylate. All the fresh fish I could eat, and lovely fish leftovers for compost or processing. Heck, I had planned on doing a small patch of 'the three sisters', native American style and plant a fish under the corn/beans/squash. But, life has changed and that dream may never come to fruition.
Oh and BTW... Good morning.......

I wouldn't give up on that dream just yet. You bounce pretty well buckaroo.
