This is one of the main supplements that gets used in aquaponics. Seaweed extract. It contains potassium and trace elements that are safe for fish and can help get a new system up to speed on the things that are not going to be provided by simply fishlessly cycling a system with pure ammonia.
The seaweed extract doesn’t provide enough nitrogen to risk overloading the bio-filter which is why it is generally quite fish safe.
It doesn’t take a whole lot, a cap full or splash per growbed (depending on the size of grow bed) is about all that is needed per dose and dosing might be once a week or once a month and less often once a system is well established unless plants show signs of needing more potassium or trace elements.

Hey. It’s been a couple of years, but I finally got my system built. I’m having trouble with the pH so that cascades into other problems. The nitrates are low so I’m thinking the bacteria are not up to snuff yet. In the meantime I need some food for the poor plants who are struggling valiantly.
It seems you mentioned someone’s name at the Aquaponics convention in Orlando who was local and who should be avoided. Do you remember who that was? I live in Ormond Beach and drive to Orlando every other Saturday. Would it be convenient to stop by your place sometime to look at your towers?

What do your other water tests say? (If you have ammonia and nitrites showing up then yes it could be a bacteria problem) What is the pH? Hi or Low? How many fish?
As far as who to avoid? I don’t remember? My farm is actually a bit past Orlando, I’m now in Yalaha. I often deliver produce to the Orlando Home Grown Co op on Saturdays though. I have some extra farm tours scheduled this coming week though
