Hi All,
It has been a month now without the system advancing real far, but will post Stage 7C for your "listening pleasure" as far as it goes.

Please enjoy.

Cheers IanK :D

For the information of anyone interested, I have attached a PDF file of all updated details for my system build. They were created to be printed out at A1, but it just means you can zoom in without loss of detail on screen.

Cheers IanK :D

Awesome system. Very nice explaining. I just wonder which software do you use to draw these diagram.

Hi vnRock,
I use Autocad R2010, I have been a draughtsman for 40 years and on CAD since 1987. Started out with ruling pens on linen!!
I also use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro to produce the PDF files, it comes with a built in plot driver (Distiller) for Acad.

Cheers IanK :D

Xmas update;
I am officially a certified Fish Killer. Ordered and picked up 200 jade Perch on saturday 18th, put them into the prepared Fish tank ready for other APers to pick up in the morning. When derekh, Timmoie and ryangus were to pick them up, faces fell and I had to tell them that things are not good.
Anyone for Jade Perch fritters!

All 200 dead, not one survivor! We finally attributed it to lack of DO, no Nitrification and a combination of factors including no media in GBs & the like.
Will rectify mistakes and pick up more between Xmas and New Years.
Poor little blighters, I will do better next time.
Cheers IanK :|

Thats extremely odd considering you only had them in the tank overnight. It generally takes a day or two before the ammonia levels to build up. Dissolved oxygen shortage would do it if you did not have air stones running, but lack of media should not have caused such a fish kill because you basically had an aquaculture setup without it. Did you check for chlorine, copper, or anyother type of toxicities in your water?

They were nice looking fish too.:( DO & backups are allways a good investment. We should probably spend more time on design. I have a large water volume and steady power but with the smaller tanks I tend to forget this. My inside silvers are still growing and I can only guess how long they would last if the power went out.
