Then because it was still cold I setup a 200ltr aquarium indoors for my eating fish. The fish are vary large at the moment. They spent summer outside, then I brought the three barramundi indoors. And left the three Silver Perch in the IBC.</p> I don't see a link to the sit…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2015-09-04:4778851:Comment:6143622015-09-04T11:31:23.661ZGeorgehttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/Geoge

<p>I found my solution literally. It's called microbe-lift special blend. It's for fish tank filters. It gets the ecosystem in your tank going faster. I added it today, so I will see what happens in the next week.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>I started with adding the plants and goldfish the same day of start-up after ageing the water for a week. I started adding Seasol a seaweed compound mix. It took six months for my nitrate levels to show, that’s the sign that your bacteria are working, soon after I started adding small amounts off sea salt and Epson salts, I started adding aquarium water from the fish I am planning to eat, plants are growing better now and fish are happy, I am based is just outside of Perth Western…</p>

<p>Not that I know of but read about salting to save your fish from the nitrite spike. Good luck.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Possibly you could introduce bacteria from another system.</p>
