Hello, I'm new to this (both aquaponics and forums!)
I set up our system about 4 months ago and its going pretty well but I still have some questions!!

Our system is a 1000L BYAP system with one growbed, we have 30 silver perch. Lost the first lot of fish (SP). Fish look good at the moment and are feeding/growing well

1Kilo of salt to 1000L. Basket of lime in tank, and running as a constant flow system.... system has been up and running for about 4 months

HOWEVER!! some of the plants in the growbed are dying off.... does anyone have any suggestions as to why? have attached photo of dying plants and of the system.

That looks like a tomato plant, I had a similar thing with them and my water was ok, I just put it down to the variety of tomato. Now I have another in, different variety and it's doing well.
But like has been suggested check your water quality.
