The Aquaponics is still to come... but I have got myself a few bags of those clay balls. I'm still testing ideas and water flow on top shelf.
I have changed these tanks a bit this year. It has been pretty fun getting it all organised. I told myself I had to have this setup for the July school holidays, so that all the fish I keep in the science lab, have tanks to go in. I used automatic fish feeders on the last holidays in September but can't do this over the Chrissy holidays, as I will not be going in to do weekly water changes.
This is the guppy pool that I've just moved the black snake skin guppies in to, now that the temperature is warming up in Perth.

The daphnia tubs. Stoked to get a bag from the last auction. Which has allowed me to feed live daphnia to all my cichlids every morning.

The Frontosa tank 6x2x2, wild caught and still no fry, after all the times of holding. Maybe I should strip?

The double stack 6x2x2 keeping a few tangs and a colony of petricola.

I'm going into the first summer using this "sun room" that was once (1950s) a patio as my fish room. The last couple of years there was times my house got really hot. I drilled a few holes in the asbestos walls and had a couple of air conditioners installed into the whole house. Maybe I need to cover the windows with reflective insulation, and maybe I will need to part ways with the Tropheus. But right now, I'm stoked with the setup of sponge filters and sump and can't wait to turn all the heaters off.
I'll try keep this journal updated.
