Growing on tank is now properly boxed in

After a break from building work we have now started the push to complete all the odds and ends completed.

Firstly, we are tackling the growing on tank. This tank has been a great success and if you don't have one and have the space I would strongly recommend it. In the town months this has been up and running I have seen 12-15cm koi growing up towards 15-20cm which is superb considering that has been in such a short time.

So the tank has now been fully insulated with 150mm king span. We have boxed it all in using tongue and groove 25mm planks (same as from the filter house exterior). At the top edge we have used two standard planks of deck and then to prevent koi jumping out we have then created two frames of netting. We have put these frames on hinges so we can easily open them and see the koi. To help with with access to the filtration we have made a few steps (in the bottom right of the first picture). Very pleased with the end result
