<p>If you do its back to square one for sure, if, the fish are gone you could do it but its literally start over time. You can do it, but you need to find out what happened, and correct it before restocking, and the restocking needs to include a new bioloading. You might also consider adding UV protection. Is there a vet or college lab that can do a bio check for you ? </p>

<p>Have you looked into disease ?</p>

<p>I have the Rubbermaid tubs, big ones also, once rinsed well they are inert.</p>

<p>Your setup sounds great.</p>

<p>I would try cycling it again. You can leave the plants in, and maybe add some sea kelp or other natural fish-safe nutrient to keep your plants alive. I would try some <a href="https://www.theaquaponicsource.com/shop/run-your-system/getting-started/aquacycle-fish-less-cycling-kit/" target="_blank">AquaCycle</a>, and follow the cycling instructions.</p>

<p>I have tilapia and our temp is in the low 70's. Water is from our well and we had it tested...they were fine in it before....we naturally have high PH so I add a little muratic acid when I fill. Do you know how to get the bacterial colonies back up? I am at a point where I want to rip out all of the plants and empty the tanks a start over :( ......hope there is another solution.

<p>What kind of fish do you have? Is your water temp right for them?</p>
<p>What is your water source? Are you filtering it?</p>
<p>I would try to slowly lower the pH to the low 7's.</p>
<p>My best guess is the addition of water after you flooded the sump messed up your bacterial colonies. </p>
