    April, no problem. I have a new batch of little lamb frys just hatched. But there’s only one black sheep in the batch.

    Did you want them cooked first? I can whip up a great Lambs Fry Casserole.

    Btw, I did end up getting a VIA for ony Aus$32. I think my delusion of $150 was based on a JA.

    O.K. - VIA - not familar that brand. $32.00 seems resonable. How well does it work ? Is it doing the job, you expect ?

    Via is a junky brand made in China, Smokey. It does a great job for a holding bin though! I put a 300w in an 80litre. It brings the water from 14c up to 29 in about 2 hours (is starting Winter here in Sydney. In summer it would take about 3 minutes!). Normally I age the water 24, but wanted something that could do it quick in case there was ever an emergency. Have also started using an old 800l/ph submersible pump last night. I’ve had it for over a year, but decommissioned it as I was sus that it was trying to electrocute me.Do you know how to check if it’s leaking voltage into the water? Besides... “Stick your finger in and see if you survive”
