Hello,
I just put together a very small diy system involving a 10 gallon tank with 2 goldfish and I added 3 lettuce plants and 3 kale. The kale failed almost immediately, turning yellow and wilting and the lettuce held on and produced new growth but ultimately wilted beyond saving. My PH has been around 6 and I have a pretty low flow at the moment. Now, I am a super newb so I am still figuring all of this out, but I would love some advice and how to get my plants going. Thank you!

Hopefully someone will chime in on your problem, soon. But in the meantime, you can read Aquqponics 101. It has fish to grow bed calcs. I am a newbie, and don't have a system built yet. I try to check in occasionally to see what's up. Good luck to you and with your project.:)
