Water test results:
pH: 6.0
Ammonia: 0.5
Nitrate: ~50
Water has a slight fish poop odor...
This isn't good. The pH is too low for nitrification to take place efficiently. I'll perform water changes this Sunday. For the time being, I added roughly 5 kgs of corals to gradually bring the pH up...
Here are plenty of photos to enjoy:
 |
| Full system shot... |
 |
| Growbed shot... |
 |
| An okra pod (3 days old, I think) |
 |
| Two more okra pods |
 |
| 3 pods and a flower... The lowest pod is 8 days old... I won't be harvesting as I want to collect their seeds... |
 |
| This strange kangkong prefers to grow long thin stems... |
 |
| Kangkong growing downwards between the wall and growbed... |
 |
| Largest kangkong plant in the system... |
 |
| Look how big are the leaves! |
 |
| Pest attack on kangkong... I just let this little beetle enjoy its meal since I won't be harvesting any veges this round... |
 |
| I don't know what creature did this... I hope I'll find out soon... |
 |
| Strange insect on a mint leaf... There were two of them... |
 |
| Weird looking grasshopper... It has been hanging around the growbed for the past 3 days... I don't know what is it doing there... |
 |
| I found something interesting... Recently, all the new leaves of my okra plants takes on a different leaf design... |
 |
| Compare the above leaf with an older leaf at the lower part of the plant... So much difference... |
 |
| This strange kangkong is reaching for the sun by coiling itself around the okras... |
 |
| Why does this kangkong exhibit such growing behavior while the others just grow fat stems? |
 |
| Oh my... mint? Does mint plant actually grow underground suckers? |
 |
| Those fallen berries from the tree above are germinating... Interesting... |
 |
| Guppy tank... The bottom is quite dirty... I had removed them after taking this photo... |
 |
| Guppy shot... |
 |
| Tilapia tank... Water is a little cloudy... |
 |
| After feeding them, they are no longer interested in me... :( |
 |
| Finally, my pleco... Right there, by the pump... |
:-D
