#363318 Fish Room Shed Build

Posted by rx007 on 13 September 2017 - 07:45 AM

Keep the updates flowing, I'm enjoy a bit of fishroom Voyeurism.
Would you be interested in putting a few solar panels on the roof? I'm trialing a 100w dc system, yet to get battery's but I can pump 1000l/hr 2m high then gravity drain back to sump for about 6hours per day atm. With a battery hooked up I can do this 24/7. I think solar sheds are the way to go especially for fish rooms.
Kurt, I'm living in Erskine now so if you need a hand with anything give me a hoot.

Ps I could loan you a panel to trial if you like.

Hi Kurt,
Looking good. I will be converting my shed next year & looking for info/experiences regarding cheapest heating/cooling.

Few questions: any insulation behind the plaster walls/roof?
From my research 100mm HD foam works the best, not sure where to buy it, Clark rubber maby.

Are you going reverse cycle? If so, which brand/model. Research says 1.5hp Eco Riannai for 10x6m room.
Heating the room or just sumps/tanks?

My yo yo have narcolepsy- sometimes I find them laying on their sides & they look dead only to poke them - then they swim off normall.
I also notice they sleep head to tail in pairs in a piece of pipe I have in there & there that tight I think they are stuck - once disturbed they swim off fine.
Odd fish !

Tech Support in Marriage
The young woman who submitted the tech support message below (about her relationship with her husband) presumably did it as a joke. Then she got a reply which was way too good to keep to herself. The tech support people's love advice was hilarious and genius!
The query:
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed, Desperate.
The response that came weeks later out of the blue:
Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta version. Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please, do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Lavish Praise 5.0
Good Luck!

On their way to the church to get married, a young Catholic couple were involved in a fatal car accident
Being good Catholics the young couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.
While waiting, they begin to wonder: could they possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter finally showed up, they asked him.
St Peter said "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out" and he leaves them sitting at the Gate.
After three months, St Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes" he informs the couple " I can get you married in Heaven".
"Great!" said the couple "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
"You must be bloody joking" says St. Peter, red-faced with frustration, slamming his clipboard on the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple".
"OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted "It took me three months to find a priest up here. Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?"

On the first day, God created the dog and said:
'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?'
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.'
The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?'
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty
Years.'
The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said:
'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.'
But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?'
'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

Ppl get labelled conspiracy nuts when proof is not provided, perfect deflection for the wealthy. The Fed doesn't answer to the govt let alone the population, they control the media (just as Murdoch ran anti-Rudd articles during our recent election) and cover-up any important information, replace it with Miley antics or cats up trees being rescued by fireman while the real story is 90% of the worlds wealth is owned by 10% of the population.

Facts are:
Every fiat currency in history has failed.

Our currency in nothing more than plastic. (Real money like Americas pre-1933 Gold coins & Australia's pre-decimal which was high % of Silver has been recalled, replaced with cupro-nickel. )

The futures contracts in Gold/Silver allow artificial manipulation of a physical commodity (artificial because the physical traded does not actually exist.)

Nobody, except the bankers in control of the Central Banks know what will happen next. But what we do know is they want Gold & Silver & they collect as much as is possible.

The controlling Powers are very long term and are not voted in. Your govt changes every 3-4yrs.

This is a very short conclusion because we will never know what is going on, why or by whom. We all dance to a tune, freedom is an illusion, our boundary s are controlled by how much wealth we possess. Wealth is measured by assets - eg: houses/cars/land prices are calculated in $'s but our $'s are plastic! Eroded by inflation, diluted by QE and subject to fluctuation via international economics.
Once upon a time you could save in Gold & retain your purchasing power, due to Futures Contracts even Precious Metals are not safe stores of value. Just keep enjoying your Fish, at least until the price of Power takes that from us. No matter how important you think you are, you are just another puppet like me..
