My Basil and Mint seem to be a little yellow compared to last year? Growth is great just looking to fine tune. The PH is between 7.5-8 the Nitrites are .5 the Ammonia is around .5-.75 The mint is in the bog filter and the basil is in a simi DWR. I might have a few problems, the water to the DWR is not filtered so the roots do get build up, I rinse every week, and the PH might be locking a little?

The pond has lots of fish around 200 tilapia plus goldfish and a few turtles and is 5 or so years old.

Looks like Fe deficient to me. Add some iron to sump or spray, or both.

Thanks, thats what I was thinking after researching today. I don't have a sump so was thinking of going the MaxiCrop and spray on the leaves directly for a few weeks?

I have this set up on the side of my fish pond in my back yard.

That should work. use the Maxi w/ iron. Won't hurt the fish- will get the plants looking better.
