Well...I need to buy expensive narrow troughs to replace the bins. Then put them behind the wall, in the shelter, to make cleanout far easier.
The spigots are far too tiny, useless.
Took a full 8hrs, over two days, to clean out all the media...fml.
Picking up patch kit today.

I've got to install an overflow!

Storm came through yesterday and flooded everything. Mud in the pond, water 3 inches ABOVE liner edge! I had to remove the edging blocks to let it drain! Hose drained an additional 4" of water below the liner edge as well. Water level was 4" below liner before storm, so a lot of water is running off into pond that I have to figure out and stop.
Fish are happy, though. Breakfast arrived on time, so they dont mind. Lol

Caught 53 fry.
I think there must be 300-400 total!
Moved these to the blue tank. We'll see if they grow faster & if so, I'll be able to sell the dark ones sooner & catch more fry.
Some cuties in here!
A few ochiba shigure, bekko, solids, gin rin, butterfly & regulars.
