Hi
I have a lot of these hanging around the growbeds and I think they are native bees probably after water. If so they are no worrys. Can anyone confirm this is correct Thanks
Also some updated photos of the system with my first seeds showing up they are radish.
Thanks
GnomeMan
P.S. hope I got the titles of photos right this time

They are hoverflies Gnomeman :cheers:
Good bugs that lay their eggs near aphid colonies, when the larva of the hoverfly hatch they feast on aphids. Tis a very good things that you have there, and a good reason to let some things like carrots, celery and parsley flower and go to see as they also bring in the beneficial bugs. :flower:

HI :wave1:
Thanks to Faye & EarthBound For your quick replys. Glad to know they are friends not foes.
To UpNorth the water is looking good at the moment I run the pump for a couple of hours every now and then to help turn the water over. I have my fish tank covered on two side that face the sun and a lid on it but I must cover the other sides sometime.The water in the sump tank looks even better.

Thanks
GnomeMan
