  • do you have the pump system on a timer or is it on a constant flow?

  • @Irishgirl41

    The pump works constantly but it functions as flood/ drain cycling with the siphon system.

  • the iron bar may sound like a logical and easy way to add iron to the system but it doesnt in fact work .

    The iron must be in a chelated form for the plant roots to be able to absorb it.

    The iron that you are introducing will not be absorbed by the plants.

    I have been using an aquaponics system for years and i know this to be true.

    You are correct in informing the guys that you must NEVER , EVER put any fertiliser in this system .

    They WILL kill all of your fish.

    Nice system by the way .

  • @wacka2

    While you are somewhat correct... in fact some natural chelation of the iron happens while rusting and through bacterial action. The proof shows in the improvement in the plants. However, chelated iron in a much better option (and the only addition to the water that I recommend ever).  NO Fertilizers!!!

  • hello buddy what a good job hey listen I hope you will answer me you have the iron with the fish?!! the iron does not hurt the fish??

  • @giftsfromtheholyland

    yes... no it doesn't
