And the fish. Lots of different sizes.

Looking good Fish Fodder!

Systems looking great, are they silvers?

God bless froggo.

Yes they are silvers. About 70 ranging from 30mil up to about 200mil.

Makes feeding time interesting, the little fellas rise up to the food en mass and the bigger fish seem to hang back. Opposite to what I thought would happen.

How did you cycle the system?

HI OBO

I had 50 litres of clay balls seeded with bacteria in the small system I had running and used the humonia method. We had some good warm weather and cycling took about 2 weeks.

Cool, I'd still take it pretty easy on the feed for a couple of weeks. Especially with the bigger ones in there.

I've been keeping them pretty hungry. They are resorting to eating all the algae of the inside of the tank. Automatic tank cleaners

Hi All

Just some pics of the the veges and work done on the AP shed/greenhouse.

Also a picture of some friendly but destructive visitors.

In reference to the cockies....

Nah they're kinda cute in a beady eyed sought of way, but what a mess they make.

I want to hear you say that when they completely denude your AP system of all recogniseable signs of life...

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that where is my shotgun

Hopefully there addicted to conifer nuts and leave lettuce alone.

Bit of shade cloth on the sides and they will leave your plants alone. Nice looking system. Have to plant some more radishes.

Looking good Neil... the cook must be happy with the way things are growing.....

So when is your brother going to get a system for his own "fish poo" salads...
