HooRah! Go me!
This is what I did on the 9th

This is it today! Not a lot of growth, but more than there was!

I wrapped the screening around the plexi about 4 times, so there is quite a bit between the layers that didn't show up real well in the photos!

 

[rDr4g0n]

what kinda growth are you getting?

 

[KodiakBear]

looks like diatom mostly. Still hoping though.

UpDATE, my mistake!! Ive got greenies on the plate!!! should be more noticeable soon.KodiakBear just wondered about the mesh, how will you harvest the muck??

 

[KodiakBear]

The plan is to pull the mesh off and throw it away. Then wrap some new mesh around it. It's only a couple dollars for a rather large roll of it, and I'm only using a 1 square foot piece of it.

 

[rDr4g0n]

PICS! now!

i mean, pleeaasseee....

[rDr4g0n]

Hey Kodi bear..is that metal mesh screen?

i hope not!

 

[KodiakBear]

It is, but it has a plastic coating, so I figured it'd be fine for the purpose.

 

[DaBird]

well, when you cut it the edges are going to be exposed ...I don't think I'd take the chance...nice idea though...
