Post subject:  Another neat 4 bed system
Here's another 4 bed system we installed on Friday. This system layout worked beautifully down their side fence. We're discovering that preparation is the key to an efficient installation, the more prep work we do before hand, the less there is to do on site. We arrived there at about 10 in the morning and left by 3 in the arvo after having the system run through at least one pumping cycle, and planting up a couple of beds. :)

Of course here's me saying preparation is the key, I had to do two trips to "B" to get a couple of fittings we forgot... :?

Looks very tidy.

What are the implications of planting a system before fish and cycling have taken place?
