Another trout death
He was a bit hard when I pulled him out but softened up when I buried

What's the water temperature? Getting too hot?

yeah its warm at the moment.

I think I'll have to harvest soon.

The Ammonia is about 1ppm but no nitrite - hoping thats from the dead guy or something??

I'll check again tomorrow and adjust PH again.

I'm thinking that its an ACID problem as my PH is back to 6.0 - If I'm away one day and don't lime then it drops.

We need to swap systems a little, if I don't continually add acid, the ph shoots up.

What about putting something in there that messes with the PH, like chunks of concrete? Or something add far more shell grit, double or triple the amount you've got in there?

Hey Jay shame about the fish. What is the water temp?
What's the average size of your rt's now?
And,
Have you tried putting a lump of limestone into the water?

Ooh you're coming up to 2k posts too.

Lime stone block might work
Temp was 20 at 5pm after a hot 30c day
Had another death but also harvested 2 trout
Was ammonia in system which I think was the dead fish - have cut back feeding and boosted with Eco fungicide this morn and lime this evening

Juane flamee ??? Whoops something fishy going in here

Awesome haul of beetroot and that trout looks delicious. Looks like you're going to have a mystery plant like my surprise turnip, lol.

Nice work!
