Gregory J. Showalter replied to Gregory J. Showalter's discussion Ammonia-0 ppm, nitrites 5 or more ppm, nitrates a solid 5 ppm

"Thank you for the encouraging news Harold! The last 3 days the water temps were 70,72 & 73F. How do people raise cooler water fish ( trout, perch) if one needs temps in the 70's to have your bio-filter healthy?"

So good I can't say how much I'll get thumped, and it's a limited supply (I should have about 25 when all is said and done). Instead of making GB out of other material, I'll be chopping the tops and bottoms off many to create them. Each piece is 3'x4' total of 12sqft per half an IBC.Math275gal/7.5gal per cubit ft = 36 2/3cubit ft of water which supports 36 fishesFor the 36…See More
