Thanks for your comments!

- In my experience, the fish do a very good job of eating any mosquito larvae and other insects that happen to fall into the pool.

- Depending on how you would want to set up the AutoMicroFarm, there would be plenty of hiding places for the fish. In my setup, I only see the fish come out of hiding when I feed them. But, if this is still a concern, you could add a simple net to deter predators.

- I thought about selling just certain parts, but that adds too much complexity. If you're serious about wanting just certain parts, email me and I'll help you out.

- We've had several hard rains and high winds, and I haven't seen any significant erosion... maybe a few grains of sand that got washed out, but that's it. The plant roots are really good about holding on to the sand. :)
