What will happen if you have too high water level in the growbed?

Initially high water level will cause higher evaporation and water will be use more due to this. To ensure this dont happen it is recommended that the water level is at least 1 inch below the hydroton or media level.

Above photo the water level is about 1 inch below the hydroton and it is just nice for most setup.

What else could happen?

Algae and some time moss will grow, moss could turn into fern in some cases. Algae and mosses will compete with plants for nutrient and it also will make the growbed looks dirty as below.

As a general rule 1 inch water below the media is acceptable, this is the DryZone of an aquaponics growbed. This DryZone can be thicker depending on type of plants grown.

A siphon with adjustable standpipe height is helpful in ensuring this water level is easily achieved.

Whats happening to my aquaponics today.

Kailan in the #guttergrowbed getting bigger, altho they are generally thin by normal standard.

Only four pots of Kuchai in the gutter, and all are fine. Cut and gave away as usual.

Two pots of lemon grass showing good root growth.

Mint goes without saying, they had to be constantly trimmed to keep under control.

One of the rosemary cutting I planted earlier didnt survive, redo and wait.

Kailan in the CRAFTS set doing well too, there is one grasshopper feasting on it. Only one, so its ok. Dont think this little fella will eat much after all, as long as it doesnt "call home" Im okay with it.

Cili Bara producing chillies as they should, has to keep a close watch on fungus infection.

Making a mini #guttergrowbed set with a barrel as fish tank from surplus gutter that I have laying around.

Leeks surviving and showing root growth, will wait and see what happens.

And last but not least, I bought a flower pot stand, those waist high unit. Its for me to work on potted growbed without having to strain my back doing it at ground level.

BTW.. The haze is still bad, it starting to affect my aquaponics plants.
