SO I get back from holidays and what do I find ?

NO dead fish !
I think looking after my system may have cured Duckpond of his chronic fish murdering disease

All the silvers are now out of here and in the other system , no fish in here for 2 weeks so Ive been dosing it with T****e . Yabbies all gone to Duckponds sump tank ( with his 1 sneaky fat Black Bream that had better be scooped out before it eats the yabbies )

Seedlings are call coming up great , passionfruit is fruiting , so is the Cape Goosberry . Getting sick of eating celery too

Carrots and turnips are going slow but they should take off as the weather cools

I bought a new air pump today to really slam some air into the 4 buried tanks , hopefully this will win me the "Biggest Trout" competition ( that , amd the steroids Im going to have to feed them to win ) . Got a good price on it from my mate at the fish shop , now I just need to fiddle with it to get equal flow to each tank

BRING ON THE TROUT !!!
( after I build 4 lids ... )

weighed fish today

trout - 110 gram average ( feeding spradically to avoid another ammo / nitrite spike )

silvers - the biggest ones are 150 gram , the smallest are smaller than the trout . Theyve been in there since last november , hoping they take off once spring hits .
Might need to revisit the old solar water heater idea

water temp is 12 degrees in both systems
