Welcome allinkdup :wave: great set up ya got there! I would love to do the aquaponics with Talapia, but it doesn't stay warm enough here, and Im not willing to bring em' in doors :) But I'm working on plans for the next pond build, that will have native sunfish ( bluegill, crappie, etc..) and a bog to filter. Nothing like having a fish market in your back yard! ;)

Billy, I bet ya got a few stories to tell. :)

In your AP system, have you thought about what you will do in case of a heavy rain? I was thinking of standpipes in the fish tanks, which to prevent them from overflowing.

he is definitely a very animated guy...he sings about lots of controversial subject matter and if you are easily offended he is not your kind of guy...if you have an open mind and like to be enlightened and want to have a good time, he is a very good inspiration for your day...."I'm not a heavy metal singer or a gangster rapper, I'm just a w&^d smoker singing songs on the crapper"..Mervous Thrifty...aka...Bofus Hockaloogie...aka...MUCK STICKY....lmao...Hopefully this won't garner any 'warning points" for me and my account.....BILLY

I watched the videos on your earlier post, great fun! I have not heard of Muck Sticky either but found the tune quite catchy and the video good fun.

I also took a look at your Facebook page, you do great tile work!

Did you do the stone wall, or is it something you want to do? That would be amazing to have as a yard backdrop.

Thanks MTPOND and ADDY!Yes CRS...we have bounced together for about 10 of the 15 yrs I have worked on Beale Street...I concur...we are characters..Hello Dave 54 and thx for the welcome....I don't ride but my parents were bikers in the 60's through 2001 when my dad passed...they were in the Memphis Motorcycle Club with Elvis and some of his buds back in the day...they mainly did hill climbing and drag racing...I don't ride as there is a blatant disregard for people on motorcycles in this area...I have had many friends go down :( and I have a high regard for life and want to live a long time...LOL...and yes I do like tattoos...I am up to 850+ hours working on a full body suit...if you have Facebook...you can look up my page...Billy Pounds, and look in my tattoo pics in my photo section,,...there is also a good bit of my tile and marble work on my page...Billy Pounds Custom Installation Tile and Marble....enjoy ....Billy
Yup so do I nowadays wiped out as a pillion on my mates K 1300 doing 80 to the law 30 lol couldn't prove it aswe left no skid marks wasn't our fault car jumped a red .
Ended up a good 50 yards away busted up pretty badly , learned my lesson bikes can take your life never been on another since then sold my 3 BSA's and that was me as a biker finished , I look at mates on their third or fourth crashes as having a screw loose :banghead3: , one or two funerals as well :skull: also one or two going the whole hog becoming affiliated....each to their own dont make them not friends but bit intense when you meet them with members you dont know some frighten the life out of me to tell you the truth lol.
Will check out your tiles and tattoo's later my friend ,
Ever heard of Benaya picture tiles they do some wicked ko we have eight and one that tops a box..
Managed to put a large library of koi/fish/health books around about 50 books today and one coming across the pond as we speak .( thank you amazon USA ) :claphands: ..
Never sell any above £100 always use the cash for either books euipment or new koi.sort of a self perpetuating hobby :coolgleema:
I always make good friends of dealers get some wonderful discount that way .
Once our QT tank a Shorham fibreglass free standing unit with bottom drain filter and U/V-C and venturie I just might start taking koi in like your good self I'm still not sure how much water it holds between 350-500 gallons imperial being our best estimate but will be metering the water in just to be sure......
As to red tailed cats a guy had one in a large aquarium here in the UK the tank became became too small at 6ft and the red tail was given to Jersey Zoo in the Channel Islands , a specially bult carrying box ad to be made for it to transport it, even them they almost lost it to the ammonia it released on the journey dot know if its still growing but if they turn a fish tank into a jacket like that who knows ?

have a great day dave...and kudos on being smart enough to set the bike aside...I have friends that are Outlaw's and Iron Horsemen here...and they lose at least 1 or 2 a yr local...when a brother goes down anywhere in the country and dies...if they are an officer in their club, hundreds make the ride for their funerals...I hate it but i understand as my parents were bikers.....Billy
