I have seen this before!
It is even harder then normal.
But it is either let them go ..or do the best you can(which usually means less then what we know is needed.)
You know better then me and the acceptance; we don't get to keep them all,but isn't a few better then none?
As dust specs it is so hard for me know or say "you are the one".
They announce themselves ,only if you let them .
Good work my friend(now get those other tanks going !)
What's funny is the domino effect I have set up in here. With no empty tanks available immediately, I had to be creative. To leave everything as was, I would have had to run to Lowes for 2 half bricks and 4 PVC fittings to get the new rack & tanks working. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't a 40 mile round trip for me. So here's what I did: Mixed 2 tanks of fry that were both small amounts which emptied a tank. Cleaned the tank. Emptied the 40 long of the first Zebra Lace- 1/2 Black spawn and put them and their water in the empty tank then stole the half bricks from that rack for the new rack. ( I'm changing the 40 long to another set up anyway so all those bricks will go into another rack. ) Went to get the 2x 4s for the new rack only to find that I used them temporarily as a shelf for some boxes so I had to put up the brackets for the permanent shelves tonight so that I can cut the proper shelving tomorrow so that I can move the boxes and reclaim the 2 x 4s so that I can finish building the rack. I then rummaged through a number of boxes and found the 4 PVC fittings I was needing ( which would have cost maybe $2.00 to buy new ones ) so I put them in the tanks and set them up to water test and they are now holding water. Then, I decided to change the final tanks for the new rack and will need to go to Lowes to get the 4 PVC pieces for 2 more flow through tanks so that I can plumb the whole 6 tank system to be flow through once I put in the drainpipe. ( Whew!!!!) Once that's finished, I can add the 6 more tanks to the existing grow out rack and I made room for 4 more tanks on the breeder's rack which I will use temporarily while I build another rack to house 3 more tanks. Once that's done, I am building a rack for some plastic bins for the catfish to spawn in. Once that is all done, I'll need to build the table to use for pack outs. THEN I will be done as I will have no more room inside.......... ( but I do have a concrete slab along side the building. Hmmmmmm )
HELP!!!! I am out of control and I think I like it!
