    Thats one HECK of a setup! I have plans like that because like you my wife wants the fish out of the house! :)

    I rent (a townhouse) and do not own now, so thats not practical YET!

    I'm pretty happy with it but it has taken year to get it to this point. Its something that is always changing this winter we are going to rework the first growout house before next years breeding season.Wife wants to do away with the above ground pools and dig a pond but thats a few years away. I was lucky in that the land and house has been in my family for a century so I've owned the house since the early 70 so I've had a few years to work on it.

    One thing you may not know is dear wife owns about 100 frogs. She is considered the ultimate expert in the state of Florida on amphibians in the order Anura.
    You go to school to become a doctor then you study frogs

    Maintenance is pretty automatic as far as water changes go, all of the Tubs are from Aquatic Eco Systems are designed to have a pretty self cleaning bottom.
    The tanks in fish room are auto. water change still have to be cleaned but I done have to clean that offen
