My water testing...So, I tested it, changed out some of the water, and tested it again.  Those tests must not be super accurate. Some values rated higher after than before.  I tested Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates.  2 were low (yeah!) and one was high.  I get nitrates and nitrites mixed up...so I don't remember which was high.

Fish Food: Aquamax... I think.  My BF has the bag at his house (my half is in a bin).

John Malone  - cute little girl...impressive pond progress. I too am a bit envious.

Jacques L. - we (my mother is my chicken buddy) really enjoy our chickens.  Nice picture.

Maynhia Stott Hurray for finding leaks!

Did David get you the aquamax or did he go to premium?

David Schwinghamer  Thank you for organizing the fish food.  My fish are doing ok with the larger pellets.  Since they have had pellets since since I first got them, though smaller pellets, they seem to know what to do. They actually seem more interested than usual. I am thinking they smell better or something.  I do see them spit them out sometimes, but that breaks them up for the other fish.  My BF hasn't reported back on how his like it, but he is always telling me that his fish are more ravenous than mine, so I expect they are doing fine as well.

are you having any special problems with testing? Or do you mean that you are having a problem with fine tuning your system to work your way?

Wow, some people have been working hard! Nice work!

I've found the leaks in my growbeds. fixed one of them. I didn't think that the hardest, longest part was the testing of the system...

Nice tank and cute coop! Impressive!

David, right now I'll commit to bringing tomatillos. LOL! We'll work it out & we'll have a great time; even if we end up with tilapia hors d'voures. 

Our egg hens sleep in a mobile birdello, and debug the pasture during the day. Our meat birds are coming in on Thursday, I believe, and this weekend we'll be rigging up something for their keep. That means we'll be running a poultry processing class around tax time.

I like me a chook shed!

I hope those chooks have sunnies on.... she's BRIGHT!

Good work though.

No residents yet?   I thought they were arriving this weekend.   Ah well, there's always next week.   I'm the king of 'next week' as my AP system is showing.
