We have this section progressing on a weekly group of pictures so you can see how the growth went once we got things going. We have a 1,000 litre fish tank with about 40 medium silver perch. These pictures show that within the first week the plants seem to have settled in quite nicely. We live in a hot environment in Brisbane, Australia and decided not to put any covering the beds to see how the system worked with rain getting directly into the system and how the plants coped with direct sunlight.
