Hello all,

Here are the basics,
300 gallon tank/trough
8 25ish gallon grow beds
4 comets, 3 koi. All around 3"
Chop set up
In a geodesic dome greenhouse
Water temps high 60's to low70's
Nitrites and nitrates pretty high, salt maybe?
Young system. Month and change
Plants look good
One dead fish, a comet, this am :support:
Not feeding. Plenty of algae in tank anyway
Blueberry sparkle as bottom gravel, black lava rock on top
Only running 5.5 ish beds right now

Any suggestions?

By the way, I love this s@$?!

Welcome to the forum! What are your ammonia, and nitrite levels? It won't hurt to salt up to 1 part to thousand as a precaution. You might look to get the algae under control, at night it lowers the dissolved oxygen levels. Also. We love pics!

Well the nitrites are still high but the fish seem ok. Haven't added salt yet, ironically the plant thriving best so far is strawberries so I'm trying not to mess with them. Any other suggestions?
