Today I completed building my holding pen. Decided all that 1/2" pex tubing I had left over was going to get put to use. The pen is 4' in diameter and 3' deep. Had to buy some "T's", a bag of crimp rings, and a roll of 3/4" 3'x 25' plastic fencing. A few pieces of pool noodle that I also had on hand around the top.
Making a trip to Overton's this weekend to buy 50 RES and 50 CNBG. I plan to hold them in the pen for a couple days to keep and eye on them before turning them loose. Then the pen will be used to hold anything I catch until I have enough to clean. My BSFL should be coming on strong soon so I can feed those to anything in the pen.
