They are hungry.

I think the dust would have just added a whole heap of surface area for the bacteria, would have helped a bit.

Because that's finrot (flexibacter). Look for shredded fins and redness around the mouth/fins.

Nah, not that bad. I did think of your problems when it happened, but now that the pH is more suitable for, well, everything (hovers between 6.5 & 7.5) they've stopped dying and water is MUCH clearer. I can see the snail trails easily on the bottom

P.S. Unfortunately family is away with the camera so I can't post pictures (except fuzzy mobile phone ones).

Great light Yarra.... do you think you might get a bit warm in there during summer?

And what about heat loss in winter.... I'm sure you've thought about all this :wink:

Not sure that it kept any heat in with the gal sheet in Winter anyways.
Hopefully I can cobble together a solar collector and keep it inside the shed to keep water at sensible temps during winter.
Huge sliding door will do the job in Summer.

Yep wow :)

Shadecloth can be hung over the roof for heat control in summer.

A bit of organic matter floating on top confused the camera's focus, I think - but you can still see the shiny sides of the mussels' shells and their trails.

When you want shade - I can recommend hessian, about 1/3rd the cost of shadecloth :)

I visited UY's AP on Friday (to pick up some freshwater mussels) - it's damn impressive. That shed is no backyard shed, it's freakin' huge. The door - it's freaking huge, the fish - are small - but the potential - is huge!

By the way UY, if you think it's going to get really hot in there, have you considered barra? Scott (etc) is doing it down in adelaide, and I dare say our summers are same if not hotter.

I must not have looked at this thread over the last month and a bit. Awesome greenhouse Uncle Yarra. That lazerlight must have cost you a fortune.

The height you have is fantastic - you'll be able to grow anything.
