Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

ivan DONT PLAY WITH IT, LET IT CYCLE I ate marron that had been in a tank with pond clear, noting happend to me, nothing happened to me, nothing happened to me......................
I think fish will be ok down the track, you have 4 months + yet

I DID NOTHING. Except feed the fishes. Ammonia (0.5) has appeared.

Err... Sure nothing happened to you?? Why are you repeating yourself??

Ivan, I think any surviving fish will be safe for consumtion... with only a single dose exposure any uptake to the flesh will be minimal, especially in relation to the overall amount of flesh once grown as compared to that of a fingerling...

Repeated dosage (which of course you wont be doing) may be another matter... and result in accumulation...

Sounds like things will be moving soon enough Ivan

Well I am certainly not going to put that shitty neutralizer in there again.

Well yes, seems like I am seeing ammonia back again. Hopefully it does not take long for the nitrite to come along.

Fishes are feeding well, not as much splash as before (less fish) but can see them snatching for food at the surface.

So, you're water is clearing then Ivan?

OBO advised me last year when I needed to do top up's or in a HSM and I stuffed up and emptied all the water from the tank ( it does happen ) to put the hose in and fan the water out....

Our water is good..apparently some of the best water in Australia ( only because we are so remote and don't have millions of people contaminating it )

Never lost a fish yet by adding airated water straight from the tap

Nope. not really.
