Thanks for wonderful information on this wet Friday. Will have get on line and get the guide as it looks very good and the PDF I am sure will be great.
😅 OK. The water was slowed so there's no major erosion in the back yard. We're very happy we got it done now & very glad we didn't go with concrete all the way down.
Hi Rob, how are you doing? I'm from Jamaica and I'm start aquaponics a month ago, but I'm having problems finding the right son or gravel I did the vinegar test that I saw on your channel and all of the them feel. I want to know if I am not using fish and I'm just Liquid Fertilizer if that can work?
I started to dose again on Tuesday. The pH of the rain water was 8.3 which really surprised me Owen. Bryan suggested on the supporters hangout that it may have something to do with the amount of ash from the Tongan volcano still hanging around.
are you able to use the simple "pH up" and "pH Down" bottles to manage your pH levels? ive been doing it with mine to get my pH into range before i put some silver perch in it, just diluting some into water and then adding it in over the course of the day i figure wouldn't be too much of a shock to the fish??
I only ever use a pH up in the form of a bicarbonate or hydroxide. The ones I use are potassium bicarbonate & calcium hydroxide as they also add elements that aren't in high amounts in the fish feed so the plants can sometimes become deficient. pH down generally isn't needed in a system once it gets growing as the nitrification process consumes alkalinity which in turn reduces the pH. How much you add will depend on the size of the system & how much feed the fish are getting.
I would use acid not juice if I needed to lower pH. Citric acid can have an antibiotic affect which isn't good in aquaponics. I prefer to use the hydroxide & carbonates as they also add other elements like calcium. Cheers.

Fish are getting bigger, nice. Rain, that's what we need in Adelaide right now. I look forward to seeing the inside of that mutant sweet potato :)
Have you had much rain this summer Mary?

Still working on the PDF. We ended up losing power for a few days but hope to finish it off by mid next week.
Cheers Shawn & thank for the support. 👍
GRATITUDE 💥🐟🐟💥
Wow so much rain! I haven’t seen that much at once in years! Stay dry 😉
We were very lucky here Jennifer. There will be a video posted over the weekend looking at the flood levels.
send the rain down to Melbourne we need it here....
Did you end up getting any folks? I haven't been watching the News that much this week.
@@RobsAquaponics we missed out on rain so far but hopefully over the weekend we will get some.
How did your new side drive deal with all the rain ? 🌧

Aqui eu coloco gesso de construção pra corrigir o PH.

Acho que é o mesmo que usamos Ramone.👍
Cheers mate

My PH doser is nearly running non stop at the moment. Insane amounts of rain here.
Which pH doser do you use?

@@heathersmith8464 The Milwaukee one
@@RobsAquaponics Our rainwater was about 6.5
@@owensfunhouse7582 I wonder why ours was so high? I tested it live on the hangout & am kicking myself that I didn't record it.

Those fish are like: FEEEED MEEEEEE
I had a fish that always tried to steal the food bag and one day he did
While i was'nt there
He lived for like half a hour after i found him :c
😂 Bianca has trained them well mate.
@@MilesProwerTailsFox Sorry to hear that Miles.
@@RobsAquaponics he was a good fishie
i bought your beginners guide a while back , and now im stuffed if i can find it
(edit) found it and bookmarked
Glad you found it mate.
Hope it's helping some.
You up in QLD Robbo? I'm one of your Brissy followers 😄

Cheers mate.

Why aren’t you using fruit juice or would Ash to adjust your pH
I would use acid not juice if I needed to lower pH. Citric acid can have an antibiotic affect which isn't good in aquaponics.
I prefer to use the hydroxide & carbonates as they also add other elements like calcium.
Cheers.
I'm having climate envy. We have iced over windows in my region
Not long now until the spring thaw for you folks I hope Alyn.
