Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Sounds like you could setup a rabbit farm as well...

I just found these at Tractor Supply, but I think I remember someone using them and the failed to hold the weight. Anyone remember this?
They seem like a good bang for the buck since they have a stand.



Galvanized steel frame. Poly liner. Resists corrosion. Extends life. 20 in. H x 32 in. W x 10 in. D. 10 Ft. BUNK FEEDER $109.99

Just checked our local Orscheln Farm Store and they have these on sale for $89.00

Michael Ferrini had a deal on the liners for the feed troughs for like $25 apiece. They need to be supported by a frame and/or platform because they will bend a lot under the weight of gravel and water.

Artistic_mill was using them in those frames, we haven't heard from him for a while.... "Stevo where are you?"

Thanks Jaymie his system has them. I guess feed is allot lighter than wet gravel. lol

I've also seen them used as stock water troughs... so they must be able to handle their capacity in kilograms.....

i.e. 200 litres => 200kg....
Hydroton (expanded clay balls) don't weight as much as gravel.... an idea perhaps?

If I had those here, That is all I would use. Go for it.
