Hi Jill Carrier,
that's a very impressive start to a system. The natural bush setting looks fantastic.
Looking forward to seeing your systems progress,
God bless froggo.
Perhaps I should explain, it was never meant to be so big! We managed to find 3 cheap miss mould tanks, which we cut up giving us 2 fish tanks & 4 smaller sumptanks. Things just got out of hand from there really. We decided to invest in the grow tube as we have plenty of possums & insects here. Any way it is all really exciting & cant wait to get some vegies. Thank you all for your help. Jill
Our system seems to be going along well, the fish are happy; ammonia is sitting at 0.5 ; nitrates 0.25 ; perhaps today a hint of nitrates ; ph 7.4. Keeping fish feeding to minimum- they a very hungry! We sprinkled some carrot seeds over the clay balls last week, yesterday I noticed they are sprouting. We also put some bean & pea seeds into the little rock wool cubes & straight into the gravel bed. Some little critter has started eating them & laid eggs on them. We threw them out yesterday, the seeds seemed to be rotting. Not sure if they hold the water too much causing them to rot or if it had something to do with the insect eating them ( hope he has drowned)???? I also have some seeds in the rock wool squares not in the grow beds which seem to be better. Have also popped quite a few seeds straight into the grow beds.
Started our 2nd system a couple of days ago- got 100 jade perch from SEQ fish. We have lost about 10. They don't seem as keen on feeding like the silver perch. Not much is happening in that system yet.

wait till the jades settle in, they will out feed the silvers by a Butt load. I got jades from seqfish before christmas and they are now almost bogger than the six month silvers and they will happily eat 4 times a day until massive and fat and then will still eat. Just wait they are good to grow.
