Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I was a devoted follower of ol Mc
I even got myself a pocket knife VERY similar to his (after much begging that is!)

What's good for Selma and Patty...

huh?

That is because you need two hours to catch up with us kiwis

The Simpsons, AM, patty na selma are Homes sister in laws, they are avid fans of Mc

aahhhh *lightbulb moment :sunny: *... dont watch much of the simpsons ...
and as for the kiwis remark, is that aimed at Australians?? me, I am african, a white african, but african all the same and will only take the pledge to become Australian later this year... then I will be an Aussie bloke...

Man check that spelling in my last post There goes the higher brain function i was talking about only enoguh CPU power for somany things

as long as those perch are still happy and healthy.....

could start a whole new post with the various spelling errors and what we were TRYING to write in the various posts,
I would almost have my own section

You may all recall that early in this thread we had a chat about the little red wormlike creatures that seem to live in the ponds and grow-beds. This was prompted by AA's mention of aquaworms - a different thing altogether.

Those who went to the lectures will now know what these wormlike things are. They are the larvae of a fly. I cannot read my writing where I wrote down the name of the fly, but Dr Lennard talked about it stating that is what his little rainbows will feed on in the DWC channels.

Can any of you guys recall the name of the fly.

It is good when we get anwers to these things, even if months after originally raised .

I filmed the whole day VB, so if it was mentioned in Melbourne I should have it there somewhere... Just have to wade through about 7 hours of video.....

Midge larvae.

I expect so AA - but Lennard had the scientific name for the midge/fly.

Perhaps putting a lid on your tank and venting it to the outside environment would be a way to solve your humidity problem.

Tried it. You can't stop humidity when it is the rising damp from an entire hillside. Only real solution was concreting the floor. To justify this I'd need to dig another foot deeper, it just got too hard in there for a tiny space, I got the outstanding results I sought, and the figures to recreate this, goals achieved, time to move on...

So now it's time to go bigger, and looking out my window now, I am pleased to see this dream is very close to reality.
