sorry about all the pauses i wasnt really prepared, just walking around and talking. I made some mistakes.
clarifications: 1) I keep saying poor water quality but i just mean poor visibility. The water quality is fine. 2) I keep referring to algae in the tank and while there is some algae it was mostly moss. 2) I mention the "small" ibcs and the "big" ibcs.. They are the same size. The "big" ones are just raised up. 3) i dont think my system is overstocked, but i do think it could feed plants in 6 to 8 grow beds. Once the fish are fully grown i would probably have a capacity issue.
Something i didnt mention but meant to. The water temp was 92 degrees yesterday which was roughly ambient temperature. Past systems were shaded and even during two month long 100-110 degree heat waves it never made it to the high 90's. So i am working on shading the ibc's with shade cloth to see if i can bring the water temps down.
