woohw--fish don't like thrive in fact it kills them!!
What kind of fish are you going to keep?
as in table or viewing?

goldfish

Lucky.... next time try "Seasol" or "Maxicrop"..... both safe to fish and the plants love it

Just thinking Hunter.... it was probably the high Phosphorus content in the Thrive that caused your algael bloom.... just like you see in the dams after periods of rain, when all the "phosphates" are washed into the catchment.

wouldnt that mean that you would want to run it through the beds so that the plants can use it all up ?

yes is that all right to do

Given that it hasn't killed your goldies yet then yep you might as well run it through and let the plants suck it up

thanks as you can see no plants yet looking for a bath to sit on bridge
