I remember a while back you were adding charlie carp - have you still been adding that? Wondering if that may be causing amm/ite spikes?

To save digging put sub tank on stand under grow bed, that might be a way out .this is what I plan to do, pictures show sub tank being insulated when finished will live under grow beds suspended on the grow bed stand frame. Simply I can clean underneath ,also not to attract vermin.

The reason I didn't do this is the height of the growbeds - wanted to keep them low so I could grow tomatoes

Do I need to feed the fish more? (very low nitrates and zero NO2 & NH3)

I have now seen an improvement in flashing at higher temperatures and salt 5-6ppt

MRjohnPink - your greenhouse looks the same as mine - 4mm? Mine has started to disintegrate, but thats okay as I have a backup supply of triple ply 'hail damage' pool covering which is super tough and fits in the thicker brackets of the roofing struts.

Ron - Can you change the thread title to 'Jay's 2nd system 'barrels in the greenhouse' or remove the '?'
