Plant Type= Basil
Growth Status= 3 sprouts, one dead plant, strange black (possibly fungal) growth on plants. New seeds planted in dormant pods.
Water Temp= +/- 72 F
Water Ph= 7.3 (will be lowered today)
Fish Count= 25
Light Cycle= 15 on/ 9 off
News= Well, on Tuesday we added 25 new goldfish to the system. We went with a smaller population, in order to keep our toxin levels at a more reasonable level. So far we have had great success, here we are, 2 days in and NO casualties! The water is also looking much clearer than it has in the past, perhaps this can also be attributed to the removal of our wooden plant structure. The new watering system is working well, keeping the Rock Wool moist, and the plants fed. I have noticed our growth is much slower than most of the other groups, this must be because we are not feeding our plants the nutrients like the other groups, and the fish aren’t producing enough waste to keep things fed. Hopefully we will continue to have this slow, yet steady growth amongst our basil. Well, I promised you all pictures of the new system, so I guess I will wrap this up and get to the good stuff. Happy Veterans Day.
