System gone mad

We 're been away as you know. Things have really grown. No dead fight but the system seems to have stabilized and the plants are loving it. A picture tells a thousand works is so true in this case. The blue pipe work is 55mm diameter so you can say the fish are about 110 to 140mm long. Couple of more months before Bar B Q time.

Wonderful trip to UK. One of the real highlights was catching up with David, Fred,Chris and Mario. Fanatic Aquaponic"ists..... Not to sure of the terminology. Anyway we called round and were planning on having 15 minutes looking at their system and going on our way. We have been in numerous email contact with David and so you can imagine our excitement in meeting up and chatting about all this. His system is great. Smart, economical, and he used his air pump both to ingest DO and as the circulating system. I.e. as a lift pump. Wonderful idea. Made our system look cumbersome. Already I've been sketching out the modification required when I get back home in November.Suffice to say the 15 minutes ended up as 2 hours + and a non stop discussion on fish, veggies and general 'stuff'. We had taken along a bottle of wine which was forgotten in the excitement. However we did have time to wash down a  few beers. What can I say it was a great and definitely one the high points of out UK trip. We'll be back, but they to were invited to Thailand so lets see who visits who first... (David thats a hint.... :)  )
Photos below show the system and us having our discussions....

Silence................

Been a while so thought this one would wet your appetite...

Actually Wanna took this photo and I suspect it is a catch of fish from our pond. But it did make you look.

We're been busy travelling and working so our project has taken something of a back step. Photos in next  posting...
