Normal chores in the GreenHab were performed on each of these occasions.

There was no flow into Tank #5 from the overflow of Tank #4 at 08:00hours. The water in Tank #5 was about 5 inches below where it should be. Crew updated as to increasing water use. At 12:00 hours the flow was about 2-3 drips per second and at 20:00 hours the flow had reduced to 1 drip every 7s. The water at this time was about 3 inches below the usual.

Both aerators are working, one is currently in Tank #2 and one in Tank #4.

Suds were checked in Tank #2 and were very low.

All plants were sprayed with water on each visit.

The sump pump is connected to a timer which activates the system at 12:00 hours and 00:00 hours. Unsure at this time whether it is working, but I have stopped doing it manually.

Once again, this time at 20:00 hours, there was a wet patch on the floor in the GreenHab. I was advised this may be condensation. There is too much water and too localized to be condensation. I have traced it to the pipe marked "re circ" which comes out from the bottom filter tank #2 and into the top filter tank #2. The water is being ejected with enough force that it is being splashed over the edge of the tank. I have again moved the pipe further into the filter tank but the pressure is moving the pipe around. I feel I will have to place a permanent fixing to keep the pipe in place.

Despite the low levels of water in the GreenHab the TST tank is being filled twice a day by the pump.

Requesting permission for a permanent fixing to keep the pipe in filter tank #2 from wasting valuable water. Requesting advice on location of light sensors to monitor light levels above the plants.
