Thanks Quovadis, Far2lively, been a while since my last update.
Bogs are doing well, had some small changes to the 1st bog, (left) to make it safe in terms of water-level.
Also managed to fix the left settling tank with epoxy, no more silicone on that one.
Pond is filled up to the max, looks awesome. Got lots of things I still want to do, like rocks/stones around the water-line and 2 concrete walls to connect the front wall to both settling-tanks. Electricity done properly... Mesh-wire nets at the back to hang fast growing climbing plants, including a spray-bar to water them from a distance. Those plants should turn the backside in a green jungle, covering that white wall and the liner.
Mr. T is doing good. Measured him yesterday and to my surprise he makes it to 120cm now...can almost officially call it a 4-footer...
Tilapia become more of an annoyance to me. They breed like crazy and Mr. T. doesn't help much..lol.
All the smaller fish typically follow Mr. T around feeding time in a big school, knowing he can't get them there.
Still in doubt about the Crystal Eyed catfish. My local market shop still has it and I am getting more inclined to put it in.
Just to start feasting on the smaller fish, can always take it out later.
My 2 RTC's are still at home, not growing very fast, but might take them into the growout first to get used.
Then I also have the oscars, 3 in total.
Koi growing and getting more voracious eating. Lots of splashing when they get their pellets.
Right side bog is growing much faster than the Left side. Plants are reaching 2.5-3 meters in there.
All in all, pond is great and one of my customers asked me to start thinking about a design / setup for his new factory.
Should be an Office/Lobby setup that needs to comply with Feng Shui (Chinese owner). Challenging, but look forward to start on that.
Thats all for now...
Cheers,
Luc
