Hi foks
Just thought I would give a bit of an update on the health of my systems following the issues I had at the end of last month.
Once again thanks to all for the feedback and advised given
back on th 4th of Dec. I salted both systems to 6PPT.
System (1) is looking good, the 30 Jades are looking very healthy, no signs of any fungal problems. They are feeding well and growing very quickly. I can almost taste them already.
In the grow beds, All strawberry's were removed and put into our wicking beds. Most other plants seem to be OK except for the Egg plant, I pulled it out today. also some of the silver beat looks a bit poor and has a dried out looking apearance. the lettuces, rhubarb, beetroot and tomato's are going well and producing a lot of our fresh food.
I am not going to add any more salt and will in another week or so start to lower the salt levels by partial water changes until I get to 3PPT.
System (2) Is also looking good i added about 50 Jade perch fingerlings a week ago ( went in on a batch with CC Bear), Also had a bit of a drama with about 3 of them going up the SLO and getting dumped on the grow beds, Another 10 or so went via an SLO overflow into the sump. They seem to be OK in there so I'll leave them for now until I have fed them up a bit and then re-locate them back into the FT. i have adjusted the SLO's to stop any further fish from gettin sucked up.
The grow beds in this system are going very well, I have a couple of large tomato plants producing all the fruit the neighbors and ourselves can eat. One the the beds is full of lettuce, chard, pepinos and beans all are going great guns and yielding good volumes.
I have some time off work in a couple of weeks so I'll get some picks together and get around to posting an intro.
In the mean time, i am enjoying hours of reading on this forum and have discoverd some great post's.
Thanks again to all, have a safe Holliday season.
Cheers
