Thanks joblow

I'd still go gently using them

If you use too much of them, you'll end up with bolting lettuce as everything tries to fruit at once. But small amounts are fine.

Yea, a little goes a long way. I love things that can target one specific thing, and be beneficial to other things.

Thanks for the advice guys,
I'm going to try that when I'm home and see how it goes.

An Colum your saying if I use to much they will send my system to flower because to much iron or do they affect it how

Interesting that you're talking about bolting lettuce, I read this last night:

Hi all,
I know this has been said so many times but I've spent time looking an searching through old posts an can't find what I want so here it is.
I'm thinking of adding yabbies to my system to see if they will breed and as a bit of a show thing for family.
I was wondering if I put yabbies in the bottom of my main tank with silvers how will they go and if they die ect will it poison my water.
Or my other option is to tee into my grow bed water supply line and run a tap into another tub then have it overflow back to my tank, so not being filtered but contanly flowing water to keep air circulation.
But if they die in the tub will the water still posion or contaminate the fish tank.
Any thoughts please

Ok so this is my weekend efforts in stages.

This video is an update on my airpumps.
And in the video I mean litres per minute not seconds lol.

no joy with videos!
