Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I seem to remember" Joel" on the ABC saying the water should smell fresh and any other odour was a good indicator of problems. Gee that's a few years back now,.....,it could be on the CD's too,.....,now wherearemy AP CD's....hmmmmm

It depends somewhat on what you're feeding them. Mine are located in the basement so I can get a good sense when something is wrong. The previous feed in the Winter had more protein and so had a fishier smell, the newer stuff has less protein so it doesn't smell as fishy. The water itself doesn't have a bad smell, but to have it evaporating inside the house it does infuse the basement when the door has been closed all night. Outside would be no problem whatsoever.

Can you get rainbows in a powdered form to add to my system.
