Ric, you have been one of the loyal posters on here. Great to see!! Please keep posting and also try to solve your photo upload issues so you can post pics of the setup. Sounds like your colony is growing really well.

Met up with Ric on Saturday and got a few snaps of his setup so I’ll see if I can upload them here.
