I'm trying to narrow down the possibilities of what may have stressed them or caused them to change their behavior.1. I salted the tank 2- weeks ago to rid it of parasites. Then after the first week I added Seaweed extract.2. On day 10 or 11 of the…Continue

Did you give up on us? I haven't seen you here for a while. Everything ok?
I hope to see you here again.
Cheers
Thank you for the kind words. Myself I'm by no means a pro, heck I just got into this a few months ago with the idea of theres got to be a better way of gardening besides pulling weeds for hours on end and rototilling.
Then I thought heck, make it portable and solar powered as well, its not exactly what I wanted but I truly enjoy this, unfortunately for me in the midwest there is no-one near me that does this.
1 advantage I do have which I am willing to share with everyone is my HVAC , mechanical and electrical background which I hope will contribute to the overall cause.
Congrats on the magazine article
Again thanks
the mad german
