They're now full of growing media, and I'm fiddling with water levels.

Tomorrow, more planting.

Maybe, if I feel like working in a downpour, replacing some roofing.

Thanks. Yes, it's fun.

Having nearly finished "the Aquaponics flower", stand by for "Wall'o'baths".

You'll note there's room (where the sink now is) for another Aquaponics Flower. I just need an outdoor spa and three corner baths...

Well, in fact, that's the plan - another the same - the Aquaponics Flower II.

And then there's the other two fishtanks I have a line on - they're for Wall'o'Baths I & II.

I just need one outdoor spa and three corner baths for the Aquaponics Flower II, and 32 more baths each for Wall'o'Baths I & II.

Is this the beginning of an obsession?

I wasn't able to equalise the water flow between the four growbeds; the one furthest from the SLO drain outlet wasn't getting enough water no matter how much adjusting I did.

So today I put another SLO drain in, entering the manifold from the other side:

Now all four growbeds flood virtually at the same time.

(Note the plumbing getting cleaner and cleaner as I work my way through the stack from worst to best...)

I also installed the air pump line - you can just see the clear 10mm PVC tube above the original SLO drain; the six-way manifold is down on the bottom of the fishtank.
