Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I can water change but its a total pain to do it.

Here is IMAGE MADNESS!!!

I must be doing something right

More Images.

Here is the final set of pictures. I figured that I should take some pictures to show what is occurring in the garden.

Its incredible I can literally go out to the garage and see them jump in size every six hours.

Great stuff Slicer ... just keep them fish breathing...

Remember Happy Fish makes for Happy Plants

hehehe....in a few [s]days[/s] hours time there will be no media in view

system is taking on a personality now Slicer

If you really can't slip a length of tube into the tank to siphon off a little water, at least stop feeding until the nitrite comes down.

Janet. I left the system alone for a day as the nitrites were falling at a HUGE rate. At least in my mind it was. The thing went from being solid purple the moment I popped in the drops to slowly changing to purple. Now its between .5-.25 ppm.

I think it will be 0ppm by this evening or tomorrow.

Very good.

How do you get peppers to grow? I cannot get them to grow past 15 cm. Then they just stop growing.

Might be a slight nutrient deficiency, DT.

hmm everything else seems to do fine. The toms are getting to be Ginormous!

dthawk, what kind of peppers are you growing? I hand fertilize them and they go. How large did you let your pepper plant get before you started allowing it to grow peppers?

If you want to maximize production you can kill the growth of flowers by pinching them off and forcing it to put the energy into the plant. I have about 40 peppers on that plant now.

that might be our problem, the plants are too small for fruiting properly just yet

That tomato picture was like something out of an incredible hulk movie... I love that green colour...
