Thanks you two!! I take it that the feeding is okay at once per week, cool, and yes the booster will be atami which seems to be very popular in this area. Should be in this week. I am trying something new, I added a air bubbler ( fish tank pump and stones) to my plain water tanks, not sure if it will help, but I don't think it can't hurt as it's just plain tap water. When filling my buckets it sure is nice and bubbly coming out of the tanks. My son told me I need to clean up the plants before the get to far along. Not sure what he meant by that. ???
