HERE COME THE FISH

After 3 weeks of cycling the system our plants have doubled in size and our pond fish are all thriving.  It was time to put the system to work raising food fish. We chose to raise Talapia purchased from our local fish farm, Herman's.

To prepare for their introduction we removed the pond fish and cleaned the tank and ran a UV pump to eliminate the possibility of any harmful bacteria. 
Water Testing indicated Ph @ 7.65, Amonia @ 0, Nitrites @ 0 & Nitrates @ 5ppm. All good and the system is ready.









October 13, 2017- Twenty beautiful Talapia arrived to their new home.
