    How can I raise the pH in my fish tank. And what are the target numbers for the fish. This time I have lagoon minnows.

    In the beginning I used some epson salts and some potassium but only in very small quantities.

    That was 4 years ago.

    Since then I use mostly the fish.
    I occasionally use some chelated iron or some fish emulsion from Home Depot.

    The iron will help leafy greens develop better.

    I tried to grow tomatoes but they did not do as well as other things.
    I'm a person that loves salad so I allocate most of my space to salad type vegetables.
    they do fantastic in aquaponics.

    Here is an image from last year. I did not take many pictures this year because I ate most of it before I took pictures.  LOL

    I lost touch with him many years ago when I moved to New Orleans.
