  • Structuring processes

    Backing up our assumptions

    Our oldest system has been running for one and a half years now and we've seen happening a lot to it in this time. Ebs and flows, births and deaths, seeds and fruits. To have this experience is nice

  • PH meter

    Brand new easy to use PH & Temp meter

    To ensure the right living conditions for our fish we need to measure the PH daily. The liquid tests are quite a hassle and they're not always that accurate. So we bought an electronic one.
