Looks kinda neat but not nearly enough grow bed for the size of the tank and probably difficult to catch the fish when it comes time for that.

How the heck do you net a fish in such a tank?

Pretty colors.

Makes me think of those water filled plastic traffic barriers though. Highway of fish and plants?

But if you used the tank as a sump tank (buried the unit into the ground a ways) The weight of the grow bed on top could help keep it from popping out of the ground!!!!!!

Ok I want some-where is the US distributor?

yep its all fun and laughter until someone cries lol

Actually in all serious ness, I say a show a couple of weeks ago where the biggest problem they faced was this sort of fishing , packing coke bottle etc and using them as bombs, there were people with limbs missing everywhere in the village.

An electric fence energiser can be used the same way

Looking at the pic above id sell my system in green if I could get it in pink or purple, colour sells and I like pretty colours and probably am a little flakey, I know originally when I was in the process of buying my system i questioned Rup a few times on Joels colours and his prospective colours he could have in the future and if I should wait etc.

Actually it wasnt about looking pretty it was all about a cunning plan on light refraction and growth rates and collection of universal energy and spirit by colour, (did anyone believe that lol)


Anyway ENOUGH im off to pat a fish and take it for a morning walk !
