Slotted Orchids pots that I use for growing made it very convenience to adjust water level. Since some plants require different water level, with individual pots it can be adjusted to suite the plants that in it.

These pots has good drainage and I can easily adjust its level within the growbed to suit what ever I plant. This pots are about 6" across, therefore larger plants will not be suitable.

Shallow roots plants like Strawberry, Chives and leafy vegetable is best to use these pots. At certain stage of their growth water level may need to be adjusted to ensure they grow. Especially after transplanting where water level are normally set to high. With many plants in a growbed, adjusting the growbed water level will affect all plants in it.

Having individually potted plants in the growbed, it then can be position higher or lower within the growbed to get water level as required.

Strawberry as above was just transplanted, so the water level are adjusted to be high with pots burried deeper in the growbed.

Plants like Chives, above dont require high water so I adjust the pots to be higher up making the water level relatively low.

Above is a simple illustration on what I do to achieve different water level for individual plants within same growbed. This I find easier to do since pots containing the plants can be lifted without stressing the plants much.

No matter how you feed them, they are always hungry. Tilapia has short digestive track they eat a little bit at a time but most of the time.

These are in my CRAFTS set, and they are getting bigger. I use fish pellets to feed them.

Never over feed fish, especially in Aquaponics. Water will get murky and Ammonia will shoot up. If you see foam or bubbles in the fish tank just stop feeding them for at least one day and continue after water had cleared.

Its okay for them to go hungry, they will start to feed on the algae making water and tank cleaner.

Surplus greens is good, above is the Sambung Nyawa plants that I cut and throw it to give them something to bite.

Tilapia will eat greens, one of the best is Kangkung these they will nibble in no time at all. However before feeding them greens make sure they are really hungry.

There are loads of green from my Aquaponics growbeds and its fish food.

After 1 day in the fish tanks, this is what left of the plants. Those stems can still be use as cuttings.
