G'Day Everyone,

I'm another helpless soul trying to come to grips with the whole fish/food lifestyle.

I've just built an IBC with blue drums for GBs and Sump with an Olive Drum converted to a solids/biofilter. My system has been running since the beginning of February and apart from the heatwave giving me a fright it is still showing good readings.

The system currently has 30 goldfish, 4 SPs and 2 marron living happily in the sump.

Oh ye of little faith....

I don't think I'd like to attempt even a little BS with you guys.

Be gentle with the comments I've got feelings and I'm easily wounded....and I really am still learning all I can.

I did try to put a couple of pictures on yesterday but the file sizes were just too big, so I've reduced the pixel size to the 800 standard and here they are.

File comment: I've used a baby PLC to control the timers because it has the capacity to regulate up to 4 pumps and 8 monitoring devices - expansion plans.
