What's up everybody. So I have 20-3 inch tilapia and 4 goldfish for my ft. My system has about 100 gallons of water. Half raft dwc and half hydroton ebi flow bed. Have a sump with a swirl filter a large section with biomedia from work. They look like pasta plastic straw pastaish hahaha. And mechanical.
Ok so the lettuce, basil and jalapeno are my doing but the rest have been growing for along time like a year. I took over this system when I started my New job. Its in our office and each section has a 6 bulb t5 which covers the entire footprint of the raft and growbed
MY QUESTIONS
I have noticed how painfully malnourished my plants look.
What do I need to dose, brands/product names would be awesome?
Also my ph is around 6.5 which is adequate if my research serves me right.
But when I dose my seaweed extract it increases acidity dramatically. I learned after the first dose that it will drop the ph to 5.5 if I dose as directed ( I Just dosed #2 second time yesterday and we are sitting at 6.5)
IM CONFUSED THIS SYSTEM IS OLD IT IS ESTABLISHED AND HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH FISH WASTE IF ANYTHING IT IS OVER ENGINEERED AND FILTERED IN THE SUMP.
WHY ARE MY PLANTS ESPECIALLY MY EASY LETTUCE STRUGGLING?
Any help would be incredible. I apologize for the nature of my post. I'm on my lunch break. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING PICTURES, MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS PLEASE LET ME KNOW I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. ALSO HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO POST HERE.
