I actually figured this out on my own through a few projects that I'm working on. I've been wanting to test if it was fish safe. Glad someone else is already doing it.

Playing with some other stuff too. Still testing to see what the resulting effects are but, those are chemical based. Not organic like the enzyme method.

There's a product called splosht (spelling) ...which is made up of something similar (if not the same) ingredients.

Also reading into fish nutrition and learning how you aquaculture guys formulate feed from a scientific perspective. I came up with some of my own vitamin heavy formulas which will hopefully lead to better growth rates with less waste.

I have got fish safe enzymes that we sell the powder it really works great , eliminates all bad bacteria in gut, water smell gone and Water changes are very few, alot intake of fish nutrition is fatter fish are stronger and dont get any illness or growths ... where are you based maybe u can test some of my product if you like u can get more

Just some prospective on these guys aqua scaping abilitys , when I left for work this morning the plant in the picture was planted in the corner, these two guys decided they were going to build thier nests either side of the stump roots, probably move about 4 spades worth of sand and stone..if not more. I tried to use my hand to size but did the opposite. The fish is about the size of my hand and the plant is almost twice the size of an adults head.

 

Photos just don't /can't show just ho much they did

 

Why not start a thread on this. Might be of great use to all.

 

Hahaha @RobK,

Welcome to my world of fish keeping!!
At least the plant is still in one piece!!

These fish rule our lives... even my little blue acaras do a fair amount o shifting sand for their size

 

@MariaS , they really can't just let you enjoy your work can they... I had just got these plants growing nicely and was about to start tackling the BBA issue I have created. Guess that will have to wait again while I re plant

 

Ummmm... 4 years down the line of trying plants.... I gave up on the big tanks..

Im now trying on a smaller tank with the lovely rainbows and plants I got from @Pezulo....

 

This tank will look awesome those rainbows are stunning.

 

Thanks for the thought I will do this as soon as I have seen what my Goldfish keeping methods have in effect to @RobK tropical setup don’t just want to throw all my eggs in one basket but as soon as he lets me know that all is excellent and not just good, we can start tread . Thanks

Anyone know if you can sell Tilapia? Looks like two of my females are holding eggs and I can't keep anymore

 

Sure can ...



Later Ferdie

I suspect this is red tilapia on the grill https://www.thammachartseafood.com/products/fish/whole/fresh-red-tilapia.html

 

I couldn't eat these guys..... I've seen how they live..

 

Aquaponics people like them

 

not the blue kurper they get to small

Just a quick update, took your advice MariaS , I modified a smaller tank to hold the batting in layers then running over a diy algea scrubber which still needs to grow the algae, I did however try and seed it with hair algae. Using prime but haven't noticed any difference using it other than a cost saving! Nitrates have come down but are still high.

 

It looks good @RobK

Im not sure how long it will take to bring the nitrates down as I have always used this method and have never had a nitrate problem

I would assume it will take a little while (couple days maybe?) to make any difference but if possible some water changes in the meantime could speed up the process

I have just gone through this thread again as I couldn't remember the tank dimensions etc..
No offence meant... I think the amount of water you are taking out during water changes might (personally I feel is not) be enough
30% on a big tank with messy fish... ummmm... I feel is too little
We doing 50 to 80% weekly..... I would suggest that if possible, increase your water change amount to 50/60% even if you only do this much every second week and 30% on alternate weeks
I am positive this is one part of the problem.. just a suggestion...

 

Thanks MariaS, I am doing 100 l water changes daily at the moment as well as 30% weekly ... will increase to 60%

 

Good luck @RobK

Im sure after all this, things will settle
