Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi guys I've been cycling my two systems for bout a month with fish 12trout in one and 12perch in the other they both also have 6 marron the last 3 days I have tested the water and the results are: PH 7.6 PH High 7.4 NH3/NH4+2.0 N02- 0 and N03- 0 Water temp is 15.9 I have stopped feeding for the past two days do I need to do more to lower the ammonia or will the cycle begin soon???? Fish all seem happy

Hiya Brad, welcome to the forum.
Not feeding is about all you can do at the moment and holding off the feed or feeding minimally until the ammonia and nitrites drop to zero would be advised.
Running your system constant flood or flow would also speed up the process.
Perhaps start a system thread to keep track of your progress and add a description of your system with pics.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice I've attached a picture of my system I chosen to use the bell syphon iwill keep you guys updated
