Can anyone see any issues / problems that may be encountered? Fish count may be a touch high but they will be spread out over a year or more as the system matures.



I do believe it may be an issue with detritus settling inside the buildings, however I don't see this being much difference then this happening to a wall of rock etc. To assist a powerhead will be directed into the buildings before each water change and filter pad added during this process.
