The sump tank/grow bed have been set up now... The clay balls were all washed & a failure on the shroud around the bell siphon was fixed...
The site where the fish tank is going has been set up ready for the tank & the grow bed frames to be installed... Had a friend give me a hand on the weekend with the box... Thanks Mark.. The pump is in but is a bit to powerful to just run 1 bed so will have to wait until the rest of the grow beds & fish tank are on line I think... Power to the site is delivered through an extension cord to the pump & a water proof connection box is used keep it all safe... A bucket is also placed over the top to make certain no water gets in...
The barrel system is still lacking nutrients so we hope to get the Goldfish from the house into there as soon as I can get the IBC system plumbed up so the Yabbies can be added to it... Its just a matter of finding the $$ now for the plumbing fittings... I have also been told that we should have permanent power to the site within a month...
**Crosses fingers & toes**
Have a great one & take it easy all...
