Since my last post a few things have gone wrong. First we lost a lot fish do to ich disease , and unfortunately we didn't act quick enough to treat the fish properly and save them. As result, we lost 22 of 26 tilapia. The following week 19 of 20 small koi also kicked the bucket. We were then promised 40 new koi from local koi pond owner whom suddenly found herself with hundreds of newly born koi. After two months of waiting she finally decided she didn't want to give them up. In the mean time we added 40 goldfish to the sump tank and main tank with the remaining four tilapia.
The result of all this was still not enough fish to produce adequate fertilizer for the plants which very quickly went from beautiful vibrant healthy looking plants to sad unhealthy plants, with that came a massive infestation of Black aphids and thrips. So I decided to rip everything out, fix all the initial construction and pluming errors, and also tear down the DWC tough and replace it with a more efficient design.
