De-commissioning the balcony setup

It is unfortunate that I have to de-commission this aquaponics setup after almost a year. My client has sold his condominium apartment and asked me to de-commission for storage. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful experience setting up this flood and drain system. The bell siphon works effectively and water change is kept to every fortnightly. This is in contrast to the weekly 50% water change for my monster fish tank at home (no plants in this system).



We had just planted lime basil before the de-commission. The growth was great! We can smell the lime scent from the living room. The Gailan in the foreground was from previous planting. It grew so well we decided not to remove it when we planted the lime basil seeds. You can see that we have many cuttings on the right one (above pic).


Here's the sea bass (kim bak lor) hiding at a corner. It's still too small (around 9 inches) to be eaten so I will probably help my client advertise for sale in monster fish forums.
