You should consider scaling this setup up to something much bigger. You are risking being overrun when the colony explodes which would be a shame given the journey you have been on with this colony. I think your colony is one of the oldest on this forum, Ric. A real credit to you.

Shouldn't be to much hassle Ricco if connecting up a few new pods is all your doing. Now if you where moving a fungus garden out of a pod then that would be more of a pain in the at@# lol
