Tank update and plant talk

Howdy, folks! I skipped a day of posting yesterday because I had to replace the rear brake pads on the car I'm going to sell. There are a few other things which I need to do to it, and then it will be on the market. For the record, I love this car. It's a BMW 330xi and it's the best car I've ever owned. I'd love to write about it more, but this is a aquaponics blog. If I put it up on EBay Motors, I'll post a link.

Observations

• Fish appear to be healthy. They have a voracious appetite, and I do feed them a little when they clamor for it.
• The water is still a little greenish; most likely due to the algae. No, I haven't purchased any snails to deal with the problem yet.
• There continues to be significant progress in the past few days. Alternatively, the fostered plants are due to be moved, but I don't want to disrupt the balance of the system too much. I need to harvest them though.
• I think the suspected issue with the root rot and yellowing (too much watering) has to do with the length of the roots when they were transplanted. When these plants were in soil, the roots moved to the moisture, which went deeper as the upper levels of the soil's water evaporated. When I moved the plants from the soil to the growbed, I did not trim the roots, but left them at their original length. I suspect that the endings of the roots were in water all of the time. As I create new growth, this will be less of a problem as long as I properly schedule growth and harvest in the system.

The Numbers

No numbers today, I will perform a full check tomorrow.
