hey what size are the Silver's..?

I need to start to think of a replacement for the Trout..

Juergen

Babies, 3-4cm

Got 25 silvers from livefish two years ago and now they are 700g or thereabouts

has your water cleared up completly yet ?

It did, but then I changed tanks and growbeds so had to start again..
Sumps are ok now, just waiting on tank to be 100%

Video coming tomorrow probably

maybe i need to make a barrel filter like yours, i added 800l of unwashed gravel (blue metal) to my system been nearly a week and the water is still pretty dirty. i thought the system would settle itself and wouldn't need to be pre-washed. i put 2 pot plants filled with wool under the grow bed outlets and been running constant height instead of bell siphon. it cleared the system up so i could see the bottom of the sumps but still really dirty maybe 50%.

Nah it will clean it self eventually.. Without blue barrel last time it took 4 weeks..

Growth is nothing spectacular,
will just sit back and wait i guess.

There is also about 40 silver perch in the tank, but they're all hiding so couldnt get any on camera.. The video was done via my mobile phone inside a jar!

Systems are both still cruising along :-)

We just need some warmer weather to get things going eh. Looking good

Thanks mantis,

Got a few silvers on the go at the moment..

50 odd in one system and 15 in the other

Hey guys,

When I put the greenhouse in, should I enclose the fish tank?
If not, it gives me an extra 3mx3m of grow space

Bit of mineral deficiencies, but the system is very young..
Added Chelated IRON and Seasol
