Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

i stole it from the web

Its good for people to be able to "visualise" whats happening. Should proably copy it to the download section or useful info section.....................

Test this afternoon: pH 7, nitrites - just off 0, nitrates 0 and ammonia 1. We added more duck weed to the tank and will get more tomorrow. The fish aren't flashing, we're not feeding and the fish seem ok.

cool. you do need SOME ammonia to get things kicking. i'd feed to keep the ammo at 1 until your nitrites pick up. By then any ammonia produced will happily be converted to nitrites so you can guage how much to feed by the nitrites.

Stare at the graph and it becomes clear

Oh, and you ommitted one of the tests! How many ppm FUN are you having Its gotta be FUN

Stevo, that is the corniest AP pne liner I have ever heard LOL

hahahahaha...... Water testing to me, reminds me of being back in school and having a test.......

yeh, i know, but it IS meant to be fun

And yes, i know i'm a stickler for tests, but only when you're new to it.........i haven't tested my system for months! but i will tomorrow, just out of curiosity..........and to see if i need more CaCO3

The teacher used to say the same thing....

LOL! Yeh, my brother cast me an "you're a freak" look when i told him how much fun algebra was..................

I am not surprised steve.
how many of us enjoyed algebra..
oh so it is only you steve... 1 out of 700 and maybe a few lurkers...

I loved geometry, myself. Algebra was OK. Calculus was dreadful.

geometry i didn't have much time for

calculus was cool if you paid attention enough, good for working out transit time of a person if you threw them off a building (excluding air resistance) LOL

how about how fast stuff would burn? steve

too many variables......................

sorry forest

Algebra is the arithmetic of higher math. It was okay, but not as much fun as other stuff. Geometry is the basics of proofs - fun, but not all that exciting. Calculus - now we're talking more fun!, but still a basic workhorse. Abstract algebra - now we start having real fun! Number theory - lots of chuckles and giggles - get to use more proofs and have real fun! (Abstract [Modern] Algebra is what got me into computer networking - The number theory behind line encoding, CRC codes, error detection/correction, and encryption algorithms are fascinating!) Diff EQ - 1001 ways to make an algebra error - cool concepts, but really hard to get the right answer!

Okay, now I've revealed that I peg the Geek-O-Meter!

hey someones got to do it, if your gonna do it, do it well I say!!
forest hijacked again.
sorry C1

Doug-So you write encryption programs, for web sites? or corporations?
