Ok, I guess the item in the picture, the square one will be the fish tank ? Are there 4 square holes in the bottom? If so, what will you do about them? Water looks very clean. Plants look good and a question on the wheat. How and when do you eat it. Is it the sprouts or the final plant you are after? I would think wheat would get 3 to 5 feet tall. Our local Soy grows like a weed to that height also so I don't know how to control it yet. Little mini soys would be neat.

yes. I will seal the holes.
the wheat really is just because.
don't plan on harvesting any, but who know.
I also now have spinach sprouts, and a mantis guarding the whole thing

Nice guard dog. We have them here also but very difficult to find.

I think they're adapting to desert conditions quite well, he's completely tan like khakis. Can't find him now though.

Is that square tank larger then the old one, it is hard to compare

my best guess is no, but I will find out for sure.

I thought you were going to sell this one and go bigger, why smaller or the same?

I'm put it on my current system. it holds about half a gallon less

A sump tank test? or?

no, just a ft.

Ok, when is phase II going to start. I thought by now you would have sold this one and moved up.

I thought that too! haha
I still haven't replaced the pump. I also tossed in some spinach seeds when my yellow leaves suddenly turned green.

Popeye will love you. For me I hate eating it.

So are you going to replace the pump, than sell it.

Waiting for phase II

That's awesome, I always think my first tattoo would popeye.
I will definitely replace the pump, I'm just looking for a good deal.

and new hose too. Algae.

I want phase 2 to produce edible fish this time. maybe tilapia but I may consider something easier to rear instead.
3-4 fish per dwc unit.
airstones in pipes.
bottom will be sump/gravel biofilter
