In the 30 gallon system 50 guppies varying in size, two little grow beds growing 10 onions, another of the house plants, and attempting to grow 8 tulips. Nitrates around 160.
Last but not least the 300 gallon 35 yellow perch 4 goldfish, growing around 12 leaf lettuce, 9 pea plants and 8 onions. Nitrates reading 20.
