I went up a few weeks back and got some stuff. Its all extremely dusty and reeks of rats and mice as its been sitting in his shed for 6 years without being used. The tanks clean up ok but I wouldnt touch most of the other stuff.

Just found this - nice little system

Little yes and for around the price it is going for you could make it yourself.

wow....$152 for 2 plastic tubs and a plastic tray with some hydroton.

Probably about $10 worth of hydroton.
They also look like 50 or 60 litre tubs rather than 250 litres. About $20 each from Target.

Amzing what some people try to pass off as aquaponics nowadays.

To be fair - the tubs look like what I am using for my sump. They are 220L each but where not all that expensive.

The other thing to watch with that auction is it did not come with a pump.

Where did you get the tubs?

Largest I can find are 100 litres.

From a certain store I shouldn't mention on this site which starts with B.

I was told they were promotional stock and they don't usually have them in.

From memory they were $58.

Thanks.

nice and cheep... check out the paint on the inside first b4 buying but
