"Thanks Alex,
I'll look for the color difference.
The pH has been giving me fits. I started with county water without testing it and it was 7.8 and then went up from there. My rainwater is 7.5. The only water with low pH is the condensation out…"

Home Despot and others have bird netting to keep birds out of fruit trees. Should work for your purpose too. Hobby lobby has some great net type material too. Check them out before going to HD...

"I am a complete newbie to AP, but I want to recommend a great product. I did lots of research on bell siphons and even considered building my own. I found a great vendor on ebay called newearthaquaponics. I bought two autosiphons…"
Matt Miskinnis commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"oh hey, before I forget. Does anyone know where I can pick up some decent netting to put over my fish tank? I have my tank covered during the day to keep the temp down, but when I come home and feed my fish I like to keep the top open…"
Matt Miskinnis commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"@Samson, Yes we had our first "group hug" as we called it, a little over a month ago where we toured our systems and got to meet our group members - was a real treat. I believe there has been a talk about doing another tour for…"

Keith Langdon replied to Verna Gross's discussion Fish not eating"Have you introduced any fish recently?
Have you changed food?
Any changes in routines, additives, supplements?"
Keith Langdon replied to David Ries's discussion my nitrite levels just jumped sky high"Hi Dave,
Randall is right water changes will exacerbate your problem. 0.5ppm isn't enough to get freaked out about especially If you have no fish. Cleaning your filter could have been the issue, but I have completely cleaned filters on my…"
"I think I understand that there are many variables, but could you tell me the optimum flood time (using autosiphons)and drain time. I have multiple valves to control flow rates and I probably have twice the pump I need."
Stephanie B. commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"I know that feeling, my cats have been protecting my cherry tomatoes from the birds and managed to catch a couple of sparrows, that I had to take from them before they played with them to death."

Sheri Schmeckpeper commented on David Schwinghamer's group Arizona Aquaponics"Jim, This was not one of our breeders. We have nearly 50 3lb+/- fish in our main tank, so we're trying to pull them out a few at a time until we're down to a more reasonable 30 fish. The 3 pounders provide about 1.25 lb of meat, so…"

Keith Langdon replied to Keith Langdon's discussion Where to get DTPA chelated iron?"Thanks George. Never watched the vid just read."
Aquamaple replied to George David's discussion What plants to use in my system?"George, I see no one more knowledgable has responded yet, so I'll pitch in what I've been able to comprehend. Your system is relatively new, right? It is my understanding that fruiting plants require much more of... everything, while leafy…"

81 is great temp this time of year. The goldfish damage was probably post-mortem. "

So glad to hear your die off has ended. Too bad it is a mystery, we should be able to learn from these events that seem to happen each spring to someone.
@ Sheri/Bob
bummer on the eggs. Was that female from your grow…"
Jim Enterline replied to Jim Enterline's discussion Leaf Curl Problem"Thanks George, I thought the tomatoes should have already been been blooming but they are not, that is probably why. I did the vinegar test on the gravel media after I could not get the pH down, and it was OK.
I'll just go with leafies for now…"
