hi all i started two IBC aquacultures. they are 300L of media in the brow beds and roughly 275 gallons and each tank has feeder fish in them. i started quite a few pea plants because i simply like peas and they wont go to waste. i also started quite a few pepper plants. everything seemed to be growing very quickly in the first couple weeks but now it has been over a month and the plants seemed to have just stopped progressing. anyone have any pictures maybe of their peppers or peas growing and maybe a rough time table? this is my first setup and i jumped into a big project. Just trying to get some more information
Thanks
Dalton

Do you think they're getting the nutrients they needs? What are the numbers you're getting on your water tests? How many fish and how big are they? Answering some of these types of questions and posting photos of what you have going may help get the problem diagnosed a little better.

water test looking for ammonia, nitrates and nitrites may gave a hint into the state of the bio material and nutrients in the water.


Did you plants shoot of at the start whilst the tank was only fresh and starting to cycle??

I dare say nothing is really wrong unless the plants look sick. it takes a few months for the biology of the system to mature.

You are in your winter up there so I wouldn't expect peppers to grow very well, or do you have the system in a greenhouse??

These warm weather plants need a certain number of hours of sunlight. Even the position of the sun can affect them. All things equal (your system being in balance), I'd say the amount of sunlight your getting will be the source of your problem and will be corrected in the next few months, as the days get longer.

Just my guess.

Of course, I'm speaking of the peppers, not the peas.
