Hi Kris, whereabouts in NZ are you? I' moving to Auckland in a few months, would be great to know an AP'er or two.

Regards, Martin.

Im in piha, just started a little blue barrel setup a few weeks ago.

Great Kris, I see it is not too far from Auckland.

How is winter for plant growth over there? Does it shut down or is there enough sunshine for some plants to carry on?

What fish are you keeping?

Hope I am not asking too many questions...

Regards, Martin.

Link to my system below. Ask away on there....Although my knowledge is pretty limited!

hi im about to start construction of my second aquaponics system ,im looking for advice on fish stock , im this system i dont plan on eating the fish this will just be a proof of concept that i can grow chemical free plants all year round indoors , i want to use cichlids as they are as close to tiliapa as we can legally get here in new zealand , but the question remains , what kind of cichlids? my orignal plan was a central american community , but there might be aggression issues if i dont make the right decisions on stocking , then there is the water parameters ph and temp etc so ill leave this question here , what fish would you choose if you wanted something pretty and hardy and you didnt want to eat them
cheers guys , would love some input
