Not even Pho-toes? Bah dum, tish!

VM: Do a search on toes, you may be surprised as to how kinky BYAP gets
Tip: Including a photo showing a shoed foot is a big nono.

Example

Some things ya just gotta know
Mind you some ppl are quick learners

Sorry Folks I will try to do better

Gees after seeing that foot i think we will let you off [please no more feet]

... yeah... I thought it was one of those plastic "Hobbits" feet they used in the LOTR...

SUFFER

Roflmao!!!+!!

Other useful scale items have included pets (toy size dogs will make system and fish look really big, giant puppies really confuse things though) or small children (granted, sometimes we wonder if the children are being measured or the plants?) and even myself in my fish tank for one photo (I guess people had not comprehended the size of the hole before they saw me in it working on the cover.)

In truth toes are supposed to be caught by "accident" so ya better keep trying to get it right

Your system is looking pretty interesting so far, Please keep up with your detailed reports as you progress!

The pH is starting to settle again after a period of high readings [Rupert knows ] the Koi are still spawning though I haven't removed the mops as I already have enough fry to keep me going approx 20 are now in a dedicated rearing tank in my fishroom, of these I will only be keeping those that show good colour and the rest will be culled off via Baz! [I will try to get a photo or two othem but they are soooo tinyyyyy!]

NH3 ammonia, NO3 nitrate & NO2 nitrite,
make interesting reading at times

True you are on that as long as you have a test kit onhand which I am still arranging

$50 tells a lot of stories

$50 is a lot of $$$ when you are running on next to nothing though
