I have an aquaponics garden, what is Hirt's Nectar made of? I don't want to hurt my fish in the system.

It's natural from a plant that is a rich sugar base...you need to ask the fish store if the fish are allowed to consume this otherwise it's harmless

the nectar is made mostly of aphid waste and a sugar base. Fish shouldn't be hurt in the process but the ladybugs might start falling into the water and drowning

Not sure if its food safe or not...I ordered 1 to make a pond filter..arrived with a hole in it...the replacement also had a hole in it as well...I ended up canceling the order and went with a tub made by rubber maid from a local tractor supply store...a tad more expensive but was very well made

I would ask a vet about it's ingredients. Sometimes things that are natural and perfectly safe for humans can be poisonous for our pets.

It's supposed to be made from leeched fruit. I am not at home to look at the exact ingredients but I can tell you, it tastes very good. My husband uses it to make Lychee martins. He loves it.

It has calcium and magnesium listed as well as michorrhizae and bacterial content. It is made from feather meal, bone meal, fish meal, fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, sulfate of potash magnesia, blood meal, bat guano, kelp meal, and gypsum.

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

Hello: I am really not sure but I assume that it is the nectar which is natural there that they add to it so that you can bear the taste of the herbs. You can write to them and ask them they are very very friendly and very very helpful.

I eat it. Why give it to the birds? Try to sprout it. It will not get you high. I had a drug test after I did this and it was clean.

The pump body is made from a hard plastic with brass fittings. I use it at my school for an Aquaponics project and it has never failed. Plants and fish doing great.

Yes! It contains live bacteria and it does wonders for your tanks health. I use it half dose twice weekly with my water changes and it's amazing how clean and fresh my tanks and my pond look. I used to get a build up of gunk on the hoses, plants and hard to clean area's but since I've been using this my equipment looks brand new. Great stuff...wouldn't raise fish without it!

Honestly, I don't think you need it for an aquaponic system. A hydroponic system, maybe yes, but the tilapia provide all the essential nutrients for the plants in an aquaponic system as far as I know making the brew tea unnecessary.

Mike: don't worry about purchasing "nectar". I've used 2-3 parts water to sugar for YEARS and have over a dozen hummingbirds each year fighting over the feeding stations. I've purchased FOUR of these giant feeders so the conflicts are fewer since there's plenty to go around! These feeders are GREAT since I don't have to fill them every day now. Of course, I have to purchase more sugar now! Seriously, sugar and water is great for these beautiful birds. They eat bug to balance out their diets.

It does not come with nectar and since I have had this for a while I am not happy that the holes in the flowers where the hummingbirds feedis too big. That attracts bees. Also you can make your own nectar. Just boil 4 cups of water add 1 cup of sugar. Then stir cool and you are good to go. Store extra in fridge.

I use bio nectar hydroponic nutrients for my base minerals and supplement with sea-90. A base fertilizer with the essential macro nutrients is required(npk)

It says it is from organic kelp that is all I know. I only take it sporatically, so I really don't know what to tell you.

I bought this a year ago to cycle an Aquaponics System. It is just ammonia and water, no soap or scents. I think it is 20% ammonia. Worked great. A little bit goes a long way
