A place to discuss aquaponics

VB, Ive used Seasol in my system and the fish dont mind it, the B store had it on sale ...2 for about $12 when I bought mine a while back.

I think maybe a few members have also used Seasol....even EB I think

Just been googling myself VB... Maxicrop is the one I've used in the past...

info says



Nice thing is you can also dilute it down and use it as a "foliar" spray and that's also a suggested way to gain uptake.

I have used it before also BK (early in my first system, when I had goldies only). No apparent effects. I must look at the site and see if it says anything about potassium.

From a seasol site:

What is the NPK of Seasol?

Seasol contains only very minor quantities of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium (N 0.22% : P 0.58% : K 4.3%). Seasol stimulates growth because it contains naturally occurring hormones that have profound effects on plant metabolism. The hormones in Seasol produce strong healthy growth of leaves, stems and root systems, and result in enhanced flowering and fruiting. They also strengthen plant cell walls, thereby increasing resistance to stresses such as drought, heat and frost, as well as insect attack and disease. Seasol also contains many trace elements, vitamins and amino acid which are essential for plant health.

ok cool .....I too had goldies up until last night, but now Im giving SP and catfish a go so any info/findings you you come across will be valuable

vit B would probably do wonders too.
