Well done... go easy on the feed though... it still takes a while for the bacteria to take up the full bioload with feeding...

Also you might want to consider covering the sides of the growbeds to block the sunlight out... otherwise you will be growing algae...

Thanks guys.

I will be feeding a bit and see how that does. I cannot catch any of the SP and i dont know how many is left (possibly 23). How can i tell how much to feed them?

Should i just go by the water tests? When say ammonia reaches such and such i should stop feeding?

Feeding by weight is the optimum silvers eat algae on the tank walls i just feed slowly till they arent interested you will soon get an idea
ATM the silvers get 1 handful where the trout get 4 handfuls
Sometime i go back to the trout tank in one hr and give more
