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: We almost had two casualties today. There were two fish being sucked into the filter until I came in to view our progress and saved them. On a lighter note a 3 new plants are in the beginning stages of sprouting hopefully to maintain growth. We removed the media from the filter to hopefully gain more waste and nutrients provided by the fish to help our plants grow. The fungus is still continuing to grow on one plant and has killed off two plants. The 3 new plants have not yet begun to grow fungus, we are keeping our fingers crossed!
Sincerely
