Hello there pet mates! Welcome back to our blog. Here's a quick update on the DIY Anubias Trickle Farm we made last week. The water level in the reservoir (a non functioning refrigerator which we reused) was dropping pretty rapidly so instead of being convenient, it was a trouble for us to be adding water to the reservoir every morning. The water loss was high because most of the splash from the trickle was not caught by the side of the catch basin but outside of it instead. To resolve the issue, we lowered the trickle pipes and the base platform where the plants was placed. This ensured that the water was mostly recovered and returned to the system. Another problem was with clogging. The holes on the trickle piping often get clogged with algae or other debris so the best way to fix it was by using a screwdriver. Yes, a drill would be a better choice but a screwdriver was more badass! Plus, we got to save up on electricity. Here's the redesigned setup. So far n

Been planning to setup a trickle type growbed for growing anubias emersed so we decided to do a little setup to test if the anubias will grow better in such environment before any larger scale projects. Reusing some PVC , a meter of garden hose, an old water pump we had lying around and some nylon to hang the finished trickle pipe, we got to work. After setting it up in an old tub we had and plugging the water pump to the outlet, the rain shower noise that the trickle setup made excited the nearby budgerigars. Hoping for the anubias to do well so we can work on a larger scaled trickle farm setup on the spacious area we have at the rooftop of our current building. A solar powered pump would be great to go with such setup, especially in sunny areas. Propagation of duckweeds in the pond below that captures and returns water to the trickle pipes can be used to provide goldfish and koi with fresh greens every other day as with the right conditions, duckweeds can multiply pr
