Hi All,
I bought about 100 SPs (who can count them when they are 30mm long?) and now they are about 160/200mm long. I think there are about 85 left, lost a few for various reasons.
They are in a plastic swimming pool. 3.6m in diameter x 950mm (Intex) 12k litres rainwater and are very healthy.
I have 5 grow beds plumbed and working, sump pump (1000w submersible) and a circ. assist pump of about 200w (just to make sure syphon keeps working), hasn't missed a beat, and a huge blower with biofilters for occasional oxygenation and filtration as required. I also have limestone chips to keep water hardness up, but they are not worth anything really, just good to have. There are timers too, 240v, 15min gaps, all working well. I also have enough 1.8m fencing to cover the whole pool on long poles to keep out the sun light.
I have had heaps of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant etc, zuccinis when I can beat the caterpillers to them. Very happy, its been a great success.
But now its all up for grabs. I no longer have the time because of work etc and also need the space for development.
I live on Bribie Island....anyone interested in the gear/fish/lockstock. Please let me know and we can work out a price. I don't want to rip anyone off, but don't want to throw it away either......
Cheers, Ira
