new project started

i put in 20 feeder comets last week, of which 2 have died. i also purchased 4 crayfish and put it in the tank with the water hyacinth and first 2 died. figuring not enough oxygen, i put in a battery operated air pump, the last 2 died the next day.
starting doing daily water tests to see if the system is stabilizing. hope to add tilapia's soon.

working on a larger tank now, supposedly larger systems are easier to maintain.

this tank will also be a prototype for a turn key system i hope to sell. its working out to be about 285 gallons and am hope to keep costs down to $1k, with a 75 gallon growbed, black cinder media, airpump, 700 gph pond pump, dc pond pump (backup), pvc piping, water test kit, and fish food.
any takers?
