How often do you feed adult tilapia

[boats4906]

I have been feeding my tilapia 2 times a day at 5 minutes each time.. is that too much food? I have noticed my Amonia Levels go up.. not sure if its the amount of times i have been feeding them or not

I have a chop 3 system with 80 fish in a 300 gallon tote

this system has been going on for 10 months

my recent ammonia levels was very high 5.0 ppm

my ph levels were zero

my nitrates are 160 ppm

I already changed my water just looking for future prevention

thank you,

James

I agree.

Hi Alex,

Thanks Alex, been using that term way too long. Yes What I should say is "Raise the Ph". Some of us aren't aware of the bacterial mechanics in AP and the requirements necessary to maintain nitryifing bacteria. This understanding is very necessary for successful AP.
