<p>@ vlad nitrates still off the charts. how about duckweed ? it should be alright to place some duckweed in the tanks since it is fishless. right ?</p>
<p></p>
<p>also, my ph is steadily @ 7.5. I wonder since there is no nitrification action going on because there not much ammonia in the system that makes the ph on a steady 7.5 as opposed to naturally coming down because of the nitrification process. am I way off with this ?</p>

<p>thanks vlad. appreciate the help.</p>
<p></p>
<p>To be in the safe side I did 25ml yesterday. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img></p>
<p></p>
<p>from all the aquaponics reading I've done all I can see is that folks are just supplementing wiht MaxiCrop + Chelated Iron. </p>
<p></p>
<p>did I missed anything ?</p>

<p>Yes, all 13 plant essential elements are there.</p>
<p>Supplementation will be the same (less actually) as with fish. Iron and MaxiCrop/Azomite is fine.</p>
<p>You might want to cut back dosing to about 30ml twice a week, until nitrates come down a bit.</p>

<p>I was wondering if you had a chance to look over my "bare minimum ammonia" question.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, by just using humonia as source for my fishless aquaponics, is there any nutrient deficiency I should be worried about. Like NPK or other minerals. Understand that the plants needs 16 nutrients, 3 of which is provided by mother nature and 13 that we can provide.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Will the humonia provide the other 13 nutrients required by the plants ?</p>

<p>it's a very small system. 40 gallons of system water volume and 10 bucket system link together. bucket it's about 11" diameter and actual water height based on stand pipe is 8" high. </p>

<p>Hi Butch, Yeah, you might want to cut back on the ammonia dosing. It would really with coming up with a 'bare minimum' number, if you could tell us your total system water volume, and your grow bed dimensions <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></p>

<p>so my nitrates are over the top and my grow bed is full. should I keep adding my ammonia source or should I hold off until the nitrates drops down to around 80. what will happen to the nitrifying bacterias if I hold off on the ammonia feed ? should I just add bare minimum ? what is bare minimum tho ? I load about 100 ml pee and in 2 days it's all gone. ammonia to 0.25 and nitrite to 0.25</p>
