VM, what's your occupation? That looks almost like an informal prac report from a physics or chemistry lab

Mate I am a self employed photographer and CAT4 Trainer [maybe thats why ]

Also comes from recording breeding data for my tropical fish

CAT4?

Tesystem has come to a temp stand still until the GBs are filled and hooked in, so I decided to try and tidy up the plumbing on my water stoae system.

Here is what it came up like.

Water flow seems good and should be no problem when the GBs come online.

Photographer

Cant see toes in any of the photos

What do you reckon Food and Fish? Can't be a real photographer!

Or just doesn't know the rules yet.
Well Vegieman, it is like this "you must capture your toes in the picture to enable us to relate to the scale of the operation. We've all had to learn it I'm afraid".
A bit like the washing gravel induction.

Well ya could of said somethin' sooner
