Slightly sluggish fish

Usually, when the fish get a bit sluggish, the water pH is getting too low. I did not have time to check the pH today, but saw the fish showing slight signs of sluggishness. Added two teaspoons of lime to raise the pH. Added one teaspoon of iron for the plants.

Adjusting aquaponics pH with more hydrated lime

Log date: 11/2/2014

The pH stabilized from yesterday’s calcium dosing at 6.4.

Today, I decided to add another tablespoon to bring it up a bit more. Five hours after dosing, the system reached pH of 6.8.
