So, your topic, information, and pictures were a bit misleading! You're using a natural filtration method, and not turning the filters on every so often. Your biological filtration remains in place, the water isn't a stagnant mess as your pics and description indicate.

Kudos for using natural fertilizer.
 
I know a guy who has a whole room full of aquatic plants, when asked what's his favorite fish he has, he answers "Hate fish, the fish are just for the plants."
 
You just need to do a better job of describing your filtration methods, as Clay did above. You make it sound like you don't filter your water except every once in a while, and the color of that water usually indicates very bad water quality.

If you made it clear that you filter the water using the grow beds, only use a regular filter occasionally for mechanical filtering, and the color of the water comes from nutrient additives for the plants, that will change a lot of peoples perceptions about your setups.


I actually plan on setting up my aquariums to be filtered by grow beds once I move, so that we can grow veggies hydroponically and filter the water at the same time.
 
Agree. Need more info about how much water is flowing where all day to even begin to rate the set up.

I'm out of tester for ammonia, and nitrite, But i would guess its lower than your average fish tank
How can it be lower than zero?

*edit. Changed 'if' to 'is'.
 
nice setup man...sounds to me like you know what your doin(not that i would know any different..lol).....how long have you had your turtle?
 
LOL. I see why he's not sure he should post full pics.

*hint* Behind the cactus.

Not trying to be mean, just thought it was amusing. Good thought to ask the mods before posting full shots.
 
Lets see full shots. I would like to see your setup. This is a world wide forum. It's not illegal everywhere. Don't see why mods would care.
 
looks like someone beat me to it but are you growing some mj in your turtle tank?

for medical purpose of course
