@babaloye use agric lime to spread on the walls
..
Won't that be over liming? I thought cement itself is lime. According to a seminar I attended, the teacher said you fertilize the pond with animal or plant manure and leave it for some days. Then flush out the water, put new one and stock. From this, I infer that the purpose was to reduce the liming effect of cement, and probably any other chemical from cement. Fertilization reduces alkalinity.

I am a novice in farming, so I have no idea what you mean, all I wanna know is what is involved and regardless of available cash, returns should be calculateable.

bro i blieve u are doing great, there is agricultural lime also, liming with lime doesnt necessarily mean increase in lime level, it differs, one has biological effect & advantage, cement is different, it would cause death, but in case of lime, it kills all harmful bacteria, pathogens or organism, it will enhances d growth of algae, which are beneficial food plantkons to d fish, it should applied dry by sprinkling on dry pond & should be left for about 2wks, though d current rainy season wont permit such, it will just wash it off.

check if your pond floor is slimy, if yes, u can clean with foam(clean & disinfected one), if you have spare clean tank, relocate them, check if u have excess or left over feeds in your tank, if yes ,remove, it reduces oxygen and result in disease outbreak, stop feeding for say a day or two, check your water height, is your pond location too hot, causes stress & disease outbreak. Since u had use medicatn, fast them in clean water , though aquapro wont do them any harm.

Hello guys,

First am happy Chelsea won Swansea City.

Now back to biz: I intend to buy a car for hawking my fresh and smoked fish not more than 50 to 100kg at once. Which kind of car would you recommend? I am thinking of a small car like Rio or Picanto.

What do you think will be ideal.
