Black Soldier Flies, CPUs and Siphons

Finally built the siphons, although still have no electronics in place. The CPU designed to give us 2 hours of extra energy if we have a power cut is also here – plugged in an awaiting disaster :). Finally we’ve ordered some black soldier fly larvea which we await with anticipation – we hope to…

Finally we’ve ordered some black soldier fly larvea which we await with anticipation – we hope to get the grubs growing before our lovely fish are installed sometime in the near future…
