I keep an aquarium for feeding my weed. I like watching the fish but their primary function is to feed my weed. I feed my fish what I think my plants need and they seem to be quite healthy as well. I figure my fish are sort of like how miners back in the old days would keep canaries to warn them of bad air. If the canaries stopped singing, it's time to get some fresh air. The fish are my canaries. If they look unhealthy, then the water is unhealthy for my plants. I keep it very clean and I dont use stuff like water conditioners or any kind of additives that may effect my soil.
So enough background. I buy a brand named Omega One. Here's what the product info has to say;
Harvested fresh kelp, ground to a very fine slurry and then the secondary ingredients are added.
OmegaSea, makers of Omega One fish foods, harvest fresh kelp, grind it to a very fine slurry and then add an incredibly nutritious mix of fresh seafoods, including whole salmon, whole herring, halibut, black cod, and krill. Made specifically for algae grazers. Unbeatable nutrition for herbivores and omnivores.

So, what do yall think. Pretty good stuff or am I missing something? I get my water directly out of the tank so it's 82 degF. It's got fish pee and poo and lots of particles of this fish food that they miss. I water with this generously and then let my soil dry out for about a week and then I flush with clear water and let it dry out for a week and then repeat.
Feedback appreciated.
