@jpm@aus.social nah, the water chemistry is ok (I test every few days with strips), it's just not keeping on top of particulate matter, which is always a problem with river fish. They produce a lot of shit, and it's very very fine.
Marine has other expenses that we won't get into, so it all balances out 😂
