Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

@ grunta that green thing is a baby iguana im sure if i let it there it would eat all my peppers

Wow, that is soooooo cool!

Your photos are great, thuglaw. I admit to knowing very little about Aruba (I now know that you speak Dutch) but am excited to see it now on the aquaponics world map!

Good luck with your system: it looks colourful and robust.

im trying to make it grow in aruba i hope 1 day it will grow

the bees are drinking my aquaponic water

they drink more then they polinate

getting ready to make a blue barrel swirl filter.
because the fish crap to much and keep filling my gb and the worms are big and lazy they dont eat every thing



this is the feed i use for my tilapia



thats the only feed i can get here in aruba

have for koi to but the pellets is to small for the fishy's

anyone know why im getting high ammonia and nitrite system about 5 months old

what have change
yesterday water turn green agian

last week i pull 2 plants that i was thinking the roots take over

yesterday i saw about 20 baby fish today i only saw 1

i only feed 1 time every day mabey im feeding then to much ?

and i have 2 big tomato plant in that system that is about 2m tall

ok i think im over feeding them its the only thing i can come up with cuz that fish tank is for the bigger fish and i give them alot more food cuz the other fish tank ammonia is 0.50 so that mean i must be over feeding

any idea if its that ?

You could be over feeding like you said. You may also have something dead somewhere.

You mention baby fish, perhaps some swam into the plumbing and died.

well i open all valve let it flow for 1 min and no fishy's but alot off brown water

can some 1 tell me if this is safe for fish because i realy need the K in my system n-p-k and that have 1-1-16
any 1 can tell me if its safe ? maxicrop have 0-0-1

I don't see why it would not be safe. If it is pure seaweed extract, it should be fine. The only thing that comes to mind is what does it do to the ph?

thats a big point if it rise the ph is good cuz i cant get ph to 7.0
