Hi all, I have just joined this forum and think its great, I live in Mandurah WA and would welcome any help in regard to system design and suppliers from tanks to fish. I live on 5 acres and would like to start with 2 tanks 1 being fish and the other marron or similar. Thanks in advance for any help. Mandurahguy |

so what size are you going to use- got something in mind or are you looking for some ideas? I use IBC's (1000L each) and my barra love them! How much planning have you done as of yet? Welcome and feel free to throw any ideas and questions at us -I know that SOMEBODY will respond

Hi, I am thinking 2 x 8ft circular tanks and rectangular growbeds to suit, I have a 500m2 veggi patch that i can stock growbeds easily. I am just starting my research and being on 5 acres room isnt a problem and have ample supply of good quality bore water. |

Good luck with it Mandurahguy. I'd realy reccomend buying Joel's (earthbound on the forum) book. It's really useful and has a basic system in it that you could easily upsize. Cheers, Duncan. |

Good idea - it is a great source of inspiration, especially if you are just starting out! Use the search function at the top of the page to find info on pumps (play around with the various settings in the search functions as the results will vary). Stick around long enough and ask nicely enough and you will recieve more than enough info! |
