Bugger. Leaks. Leaks at the 90mm bath wastes.

The problem, of course, with (ahem...) non-traditional plumbing is the possibility of leaks.

Apart it comes again...

...back where I was a couple of days ago. Sump wastes redone; leaks banished.

I hate redoing things - moreso when it's my own bloody fault.

Shoveled 2T of bluemetal today; System 1 now refilled with neutral media. Very soon we'll have two operating systems.

Left to do:
- make a tank cover (Kathy's job)
- cycle the system
- plant
- add fishies

Although... I'd still like to:
- get the DWC trays happening
- spread another tonne of 8mm bluemetal on the floor of the shed
- wire a power inlet and changeover switch for the backup generator

He was living under a pile of timber that used to be in here, but left when the timber did. Now he's pushed his way back in, through the anti-rodent netting under the door.

I wonder what he'll eat?

Only if he can climb on those little stumpy legs...

When do you imagine you'll be coming up this way with fish?

Got my trout (thank you, Rupert) - thirty tiddlers...

System 1 is now back up and running, so now we've got two systems going.
