Best hydroponic plants

[Potts050]

This tank was originally supposed to be a sump for a wet/dry recirculating system. Once I saw it full of water I couldnt resist filling it with rocks and backup broodstock. Now there is at least forty fish ranging from an 9" S. Petricola to Jacobfreibergi fry.

I normally change out about 60 l of water on this tank a week so I tought that if I could absorb nitrates that I could reduce this somewhat.

Apart from fish grazing the roots, my biggest concern is my ever curious cat, Wanker. I wonder how long the egg crate can hold him out of the water.

its looking great, and by the sound of things working great too

Potts, you named your cat Wanker? And I am stuck with Fluffy.

Do the people at the vet refuse to call your cats name out in the waiting room?

 

[Potts050]

No thats just his pet name. His real name is 'Winston' which sounds too *** for him.

 

[CHOMPERS]

I guess it is a good idea to have a backup name for Wanker Especially when the parson comes over

Over here a "Wanker" is also someone who goofs off most of the time and makes a fool of himself, an idiot so to speak. Not necessarily just somebody who plays with his tackle all the time.
The cat is aptly named Wanker even though he has had the operation...

Nice setup, plants are staying green. Maybe fish will eat any dieing roots and keep the statusquo.

GFI!? There is no adventure in your soul...

Try telling someone down here that your girlfriend kicked your wanker and see what kind of looks you get...

In all seriuosness though, what a differance a couple of days can make. No water changes. Make up of less than a litre only. The images show the titration test for nitrate. Not very acurate but I think you can see the differance and the trend in the right direction. Nothing happening on the big tank yet.
