Hello everyone.
I've been cycling my constant flow system for a week now (no fish no plants).
I'm waiting for my heaters, it is too cold now for bacteria build up.
I used an inline carbon water filter (for rv's) and it seems to have filtered out the chloramine leaving me with 1.0 ppm of ammonia.
Nitrate 10
nitrite 0
and a pH of 8.0
very hard water 300.
I was thinking to start my system with goldfish and get “real” fish in the spring when temps allow me to get tilapia.
Since a lot of people use seasol, or maxicrop I was wondering if it was useful to add some seaweed extract? I found some at local store “growmore” 0.10 – 0.10- 1.50. should be safe since it only has .10% nitrogen, ? Would this allow me to add some plnats before the fish. my system, looks so "naked" and the neighbors are starting to ask questions
thanks
