Tanks running fantastically at the moment, the tropheus are breeding like crazy!
Water chemistry levels are very stable and I can now extend water changes out to 2 weeks comfortably without any significant increases, I'm even considering removing a canister for use on another tank..
I'll pop some pics up tomorrow of the plants, they are thriving in the planter box and have already reached the light so I will remove the shelf soon.
And my spathiphyllum has flowered! very exciting

still be aware dissolved organic compounds can still buildup in your cannister - so dont forget the regular filter maintenance.... i reckon you should grow strawberries next mate wont grow too high and you can hang the berries over the edge of the planter box till ripe....

Hi Johnno,
I'm confused. How do dissolved compounds, organic or otherwise, build up in a filter? I think you probably mean system.

Watercress takes over aquaponics.
I wouldn't recommend it.

The roots and stem bases basically form a thick mat, and you keep lopping the top off down to the stem base.
The faster and more vigorous growth you can get then slashing back all the time, just means the nitrate extraction is intensified.
This can be learnt studying natural Japanese koi pond filtration.
If your growing for food specific,,, then yes I agree, don't put any water cres in, as it invades and spreads/overtakes everything.
Woodvale fishnlily farm has Wasabi plants,, I bought one,, stunning plant,,, sat pot in moist gravel bed in my koi pond.
Looks rare and grows like the clappers,,, thoroughly recommend these.
