Oh jeez! Here I am just beginning to think of ways to contain the water, first. Do I want to be able to view the fish, or what?
oh and sea maiden i like the pond method for viewing my fish i have the tank open at the top and i view the fish easily but they arent in a tank which i bet i would get sick of cleaning all the time.
Yep, or if it's big enough, just done the diving mask and jump in, just like we used to have to do to clean the shop's 1,500gal display tank.
Now you have me thinking about the premium Tridacnid (giant clam) tank. Very shallow, no more than a 12"-18" deep, and BROAD, with tons of light to allow you to view these jewels of the sea. I can't marry Tridacnid culture with aquaponics, unfortunately.
If I go with the pond, above-viewing situation, then it'll just have to be koi, won't it?
i dont see why it would have to be koi, could be any fish couldnt it? although koi are pretty, maybe not pretty good eating though if thats the goal?
Chopped the aqua last night. Had a bit of bud rot so it came down a touch early. Got a northern lights clone in there already. Its go time. This is new to me I dont know how well the new clone will handle the high nutrient load.Also I couldnt get all the rotts from the old plant out. In hydro I would freak about that but im thinking it shouldnt be a big deal in aqua. I believe the worms and bacteria will clean it up before it causes any major issues.
Also im worried my new clone wont be filtering the water well enough to keep the fish happy.
Oh well its all a learning curve. I guess thats why aqua is so much fun. I havnt been this nervous about starting a new plant for a long while im born again bahahaha
yeah i will be keeping a close eye on all that stuff. so far everything is normal. the biofilter is still working and doing its thing just the nitrates that will go up and they wont impact the fish until they reach epic proportions. i just hope i dont nuke my little clone. she barely has a inch long root and i wouldnt normally transplant until they are a little more established but i wanted to get something in there asap
What other fish are beautiful when viewed from above? Plus, who says they're necessarily bad eating? One of my sisters lived in Tokyo for 11yrs. She said a common Christmas 'treat' was for a family to buy the best koi they could afford, and have it for Christmas dinner sashimi. Or, pretty good fried like catfish, if you take out the line of dark meat. :Di dont see why it would have to be koi, could be any fish couldnt it? although koi are pretty, maybe not pretty good eating though if thats the goal?

Could be guppies, too! I love fancy gups.
