I painted up to the fish tank. As you can see I ran out of light. It is too hot to paint in the afternoon.

I was able to switch to using a roller and a brush that helped speed it up some.
Finally the painting is done. It took almost 6 gallons. Painting around the fish tank was a pain. I am glad I am done painting because I really don’t like to paint. On to the next thing.

"because I really don’t like to paint".. LOL! but it looks like you are a real painter.. You do nice work!
I know how you feel. I never minded painting until I went into the Navy.. First couple of years, not too much painting.. But, I landed in a painting division on the USS Wasp(CVS-18).. A WW2 carrier.. About a dozen of us, Painted the hull, from the waterline, to the hanger bay deck.. Not once, but twice! In one summer! I remember that summer, hanging in a cargo net under the bow. From the water line to the flight deck needed painting. All the way up 70 feet! Today, I still run away when I see a paint brush.!.

I have been busy building the greenhouse and I have not been planting plants. Nature helped me and started some tomato plants for me. There were some small tomatoes the fell into the rock and started to grow.
I took some time and separated them not a bad start. I still have my pepper plant that almost froze. I planted some lettuce seed. I need to move on to my pallet racking so I can get the rest of the 55 gallon barrels put in the greenhouse.

Two pallet racks height cut down. I now need to grind the welds off one side on each of them and cut down the width to 2’. Then weld them back up. I have three of these to cut down.

Two of the ends are now cut off. Now I need to trim off all the supports and weld the legs back on.

Until I get my monitoring setup and that will be a while because I have to dig a trench for the conduit.
I added some old school Wi-Fi camera. So I can see the temp on my phone or computer. the camera pans 360 so I can check in on the rest of it. Since the greenhouse is painted white you can see really well at night. It is 32 outside.

The pallet racking is all cut down to size and welded back together. I hope to be able to put them up today.

Is your unit for sale or do you have a patent for your aquaponics system?
