Thanks Joc and Minpig.

Nitrates are handled by a 60ltr kaldnes moving bed bio filter. Details on this on prior pages.

Winter rarely goes below 0 deg c so most plants should be fine. A few varieties of hoya are in there... these may or may not survive.

I might do a walk through vid on the weekend and explain the whole brief.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Much appreciated.

Heya, they are going well. Some of the cod are straight up gangster bully boys though. Some are double the size of the rest. I haven't had any floaters at all however it is possible some got eaten.

In a commercial setting, they are usually graded so the bullies don't eat all the younger ones. Not much you can do about it though.

It all looks great!

Dogs haven't tried going for a swim yet?

Quick walk through vid.
The prior one was difficult for some to access as it was googledrive. This should work.

Makes sense, natural selection does the grading for me..

Thanks!

Dogs have been for a number of swims, hence the ugly fence. I need to build a bamboo japanese style fence to suit the space - it's on the to do list

Hmmm.... I'm looking at that wall and the proximity to the pond and I'm thinking "water wall feature." Water runs down the wall. Wall helps heat/oxygenate the water, looks cool. Maybe even lag in a few wall pots for strawberries or something on the way down....

And in no time.we have a new green.wall. ?

Hey I recognize that quote... from many many moons ago!

So I got there in the end. The plants in the wall are still establishing, trying to workout which species do well still. Spring should show some good results.
