If it were real OCD, he would have used black tie downs... Also GFCI cables wouldn't be 10 ft long.

Looking really good Craig, now for some livestock pics?

Thanks guys!

And the long cords...? Prep for the eventual upgrade

Livestock coming... sure

Busted out the waterproof camera tonight -- Nikon AW100... Not too bad, these are untouched (just resized smaller), and the colours match perfectly! Will try to get some more tomorrow when the lights are back on

Thanks!

Truly though it wasn't that expensive. All of the equipment I have I bought second hand. I did buy some bits and parts and supplies/etc new - but maybe only a few hundred dollars worth.

You can really get a nice setup without brand new stuff

Just caught a problem with my dosing setup (I was told to check this by waynemah as it screwed him too)...

My dosing pump output for my ZEOStart3 was mounted nicely with the end of the tube under the water... well, about 1/4 of the end of the tube was PLUGGED TIGHT, and hence I was not actually dosing any Start.

This has now been re-mounted with the end of the tube mounted suspended nicely above the water line.


I don't know how long it was plugged, but my PO4 readings had jumped from 0.03 to 0.17 over the last 10 days, so I'd say it wasn't plugged too long.


Moral: mount your dosing tubes so they drip OVER the water, not INSIDE the water.
