6 months

All is healthy since last update.     Pesto galore.    Picture below is after picking a 4 cups packed leaves.    Direct sow seedlings are coming up fine.      The new lettuce sprouts were thin and leggy so yanked them and am testing some tomatoes.   Moved things around a bit and am planning out 1-2 larger grow beds for tomatoes on same fish tank.   Prob would need more light.



Water cycling goes along stable at 0 ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH 8.0 for a while then seems to ammonia or nitrite spike.   I notice the fish floating a bit sideways or laying on the bottom or still at the top.  Readings rise quickly it seems.   Feeding less does not seem to work fast enough.   

Yesterday, due to another ammonia spike, I moved the 2 goldfish to a filtered safe haven while I re-arranged the tables, clean, then re-cycle main tank.   Goldfish perked up overnight in the hospital tank.





 Cherry tomatoes, direct sow.   Going to need bigger tubs and more light.
