November 4th 2010

Plant Type= Basil

Growth Status= 4 sprouts, beginning to grow taller.

Water Temp= +/- 72 F

Water Ph= 7.0

Fish Count= 0

Light Cycle= 15 on/ 9 off

News= Since  we have replaced the water our Ph still has been at all time high of 8.5. This still and continuously has been our biggest downfall in our Aquaponics system. Today again both Phil and I have lowered the Ph to 6.5 hopefully it sustains. On the lighter note the water has remained clear and the plants are continue to grow but is not flourishing with live and healthy fish.  Next tuesday there will be 50 brand new gold/feeder fish once again introduced to our system. Wish us luck

Sincerely,

Jeffrey J. Woytowich
