This winter I've heavily stocked my system with rainbow trout, I have around 120 in my 10,000L system Everything seems to be ticking along pretty well. I have a Bluelab Nutrient wand and its now off the chart and higher than its capable of reading. I feed the fish quality pellets twice a day, basically feeding as much as they'll eat to fatten them up for the early summer harvest. Is this a problem in the making in any way? |

High nitrate can / does grow nice sappy foliage which will attract every aphid ect within sniffing distance of your system . High nitrate can knock seedlings around Too much of any nutrient will trigger deficiencies in something else Answer too your question is yes to varying degrees Ive got a mass of peas in my growbeds at the moment in Sth Australia seems like the best option to me that will keep giving over a few weeks . Be nice to be able to store some of this water for later on Maybe look at a few partial water changes so you can keep pouring the feed into your trout. |
