At last the agency has released some of the funding they promised, so I am off to the lumber yard this morning to collect some of the materials!

Now we can get busy again, finishing the internal insulation and electrics, which was what I was waiting for.

As soon as it is anything like tidy, I'll post some pics!

After a very busy day in the project, things are really starting to come together. Another day like today, and the main build will be completed. I'll take some pics then, at the moment it's a mess!

with such a major project, and all the holdups that we've had tidying up is the last thing on my mind at the moment.... I need to get the building completed as quickly as possible now, so that I can get the tanks in and running.... I have fish in a holding pattern all around my living room!

I wish there was an agency that would pay for my fish projects! What's up? I did ask my resident carpenter (hubby), if he would help put together my nitrate filter....Now that the humidity is down to 65% from the 85% it was before we started heating the house for the winter, it might be possible to live in here with more water features. My big tank is growing GREEN, and it is time! WE are all waiting with baited breath to hear more of your projects.

nope, this was definitely my comment! For once, everyone will be kept in suspense until I am happy with the result of each stage. There have been so many re-thinks on this one that it feels like I'm just running round in circles most of the time!

Tomorrow, the main insulation/construction will be complete and that's when the pics will arrive!

just to keep you interested, here is the new aquaponics that I built after talking to susitna-flower last month. It has increaed the capacity from 12 gallons to 22 gallons and given me 4 more tanks to add to our collection. It also gave me something to do while I was waiting for materials!

As of this moment, one tank has 2 pregnant mollies in, another has around 30 molly fry and another has some 25 young female guppies along with around 40 new fry! (Didn't have chance to split the males out quick enough!)

There are still at least 6 more pregnant guppies in there!
