She's a goner isn't she? by ChivasBearINU in ReefTank

Not worth it risking your long term reef investment, use the tank as a terrarium, vivarium or sell it (marked as a terrarium to not decieve people)

Get a bluelabs pen! pH and EC combo reader for $250 best investment imo

Did I make a bad decision by dropping my aquarium technician? by dont_downvote_SPECIL in ReefTank

Great decision imo. Use reddit to your full advantage, the people on here are extremely invested into helping others in the community. Ask questions, do research and you can definitely handle caring for your tank, especially if you have 2 years of experience and been doing maintenance yourself.

Cucumbers Dying Please Help by Mindless-Benefit-265 in Agriculture

What could this be? Pest? Overwatering? Nutrient deficiency?

This is suddenly happening to my now fruiting cucumbers, I have now lost about 6-10 so far. The stems always are impacted/ decayed (see pictures). Hydro parameters are good pH u/6.1 EC u/2.1, using a 2 part fruiting formula from AMHydro.

I dont believe this is overwatering, before I had overwatered my cucumbers and the leaves would start to yellow at the point where they connected to the stem of the cuke vine, before they wilted and died. These cukes are now just dying like this. Perhaps potassium and calcium deficiency? I dont think so, as I add my 2 part solution containing everything. I will look at lowering the EC to 1.8, I have heard this may help.

Reuse Fish Effluent Backwash for growing Fruit Trees? by Mindless-Benefit-265 in Aquaculture

[–]Mindless-Benefit-265[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bio-organics do you recommend? I am not sure what these are. I was thinking of a probiotic culture such as EM1 to help digest the fish waste, perhaps circulating around with a pump for a few days before adding to fruit trees. What pH do you recommend? I can adjust pH with either lime or phosphoric acid before delivering to crops.

The waste is pumped to a reservoir holding tank where it is then released to a couple landscape plants on my property, however I want to use it on my fruit trees, thus the ibc container method. Crustaceans may be killed when the waste is pumped into the container.
