Sorry JJW!

too busy gettig the house ready. you now have a door but are still sleeping on a cam and some lifters from an RB30ET................will try and fix that soon

Is there truth in the rumor that when the visitors go Reets is putting a lock on the door [so steve cant fill it with sh;;t again]

meh, i'll just take the door off the hinges again.

problem is, i stole the door from the lounge to put on the spare room, now i gotta steal the door from my "office" to put on the lounge 'cause stu want to sleep over too.

cool! a big sleep over!

Measure the bloody door bet theres one at the tip

hahha, was going to ask............

Hi Mizzie,
would love to get some redfin, where did you get them?
I am at Heathcote during the week and Katunga some weekends where our AP unit is located.
Love to hear from you.
Alex

hi alex, nice to hear from you..I scooped the redfin from a local res.Still got about 50 left in another tank.
The fish tank has 2 air lines, fish are happy, been testing water for a few weeks, things going well.

Big tank still has redfin with the trout.. Redfin 2 big for trout to eat

Still have 2 add some gravel to the grow beds,a little shallow on some

Fish&feathers has been an invaluable help with advise and tips on getting my set up up and running. A credit to this forum, thanks mate

will relocate second tank to the side of the glass house, and stock with silvers for summer

I think this may just work

ps the wire screen on the grow beds is to screen any muck while system is sorting self out,been worth while as stops contamination of grow bed

I mite lay an egg occasionaly and do a lot of scratching around fish and feathers

Been to bendigo today to see Mizzie/s system it shows a nother way of doing things he has 2 3000 litre tanks running shift pist to the one set of grow beds [at the moment ] Rod is useing 90 mm pipe from both tanks ,After the tee then steps down to 50 mm to the grow beds [you should see the flow coming up from the bottom ] then from the grow beds to an ibc sump where theres 2 submersables running alternativley to the fish tanks[ one runs odd hours one runs even hours] theres 90 trout and a few reddies [he was not feeding enough we are increasing that slowley to max] All in all a beautiful running system and theres room for expansion
See the photos

Rod read the trace elements thread 2 posts down

looks great! Anybody would be proud of that system!

Thats a large fishtank

Need a net with a really long handle.

What a great looking system!

Are those bathtubs resting completely on those skinny piles of bricks?
Wow, I'd tip one over in 10 seconds...
