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.

Logdate: 11/4/2014

The lettuces are growing very slowly. They have already been dosed kelp extract and now experimenting with chelated iron.

These are the before pictures to observe results.

The watercress are spreading out nicely though.

This mustard lettuce has been growing well too.
