Here is a Google Doc link with the parts Mantis used in his creation.
I'm trying to replicate his system and this is what we came up with for the 'Shopping List'

Mantis IBC Parts List

My broad beans went nuts too. If you look at my thread you see I got a kg or more of shelled beans from three plants. They go crazy though.

I should have frozen mine. I was stupid and tried to dry them. Didn't go so good, haven't used any of them yet as my wife doesn't like them.

This system hit 30C today and the silvers fed like nutters. Weather cooler over the next week so that's good.
Dunno what the upper limits for them are

The highest I measured was 34deg in my FT last summer Richard. They seemed to behave as per normal but Im not sure how high they can handle?

That's good to know. I don't think mine will get that high

Ibc system with 8 small plate sized silvers is pumping out zucchinis, peppers and cantalopes. This is the first riipe on Yum

Good produce mate, have just replanted most of mine after the weather of the past month.

Did you get washed out ??

No can not happen here as we are at the head waters, it all flows south and east. Just the week of over 40c, then the rain and more heat. Every thing battered or gone to seed.

Nice melons & tomatoes Mantis..

Im so jealous of your tomato growing awesome-ness

Thanks Charlie. Wicking beds and a greenhouse/shadehouse helps big time
Those big red ribbed tomoatoes are an unknown. I think it was a volunteer that came up in the garden and I just chucked it in the AP. It has produced better than any of my others and its very yummy. I had some on toast for lunch. Pic of that is in my new system thread
Let me know if you want some seed from it

Had a dip in the tank tonight and donged two on the head. Fileted and skinned and will fry in beer batter for dinner

Nice looking fish Mantis
