Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

The wife has just informed me I have been sat here reading for the last 4 hours, well worth it mind, you really are an inspiration OBO, now to work out where to build a small system in amongst the Cider sheds.

Cider? Did someone mention cider?

I have heard a rumor that next year we will have extra special guests for our cider making. This year I missed most of the apples so I think we are only going to get about 150L.

No worries, nothing has changed here, now have 2000 more Silver Perch, and 700 Trout.

Any recent photo's?

Nope

Why not???

OBO, you make Dan a sad panda...... please fix this asap..................
PICS PICS PICS PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll think about it.

Finally getting back into aquaponics where a string of moves prevented me from building a system since my original was taken down and the first thing I did was read this entire thread. Only part that I wish didn't go away is the profitability of the system. After 2 years is a worthwhile profit being turned? Or is it still considered hobby mode and that justifies loss?

*disclaimer* If I was interested in making a lot of money I'd run hydroponics which I am very skilled at. My goal is to make side money while feeding myself and family quality produce and the occasional fish. I've wanted to run a commercial scale system similar to yours for about 5 years now and since you're the first I've read that I can get a response for I'm wondering if you feel I'm better off with a family sized one or if a bigger set up that I'd enjoy running would give me the meager margin I desire.

Also kudos to this great endeavor, fruitful or not I'm highly jealous ^_^

Colin is a very busy guy at the moment. He only gets sundays off...... if he's lucky.

I will say on his behalf, you will need to be patient for a reply.

Making costs and a bit extra currently, that's without trying to sell anything, no advertising, all word of mouth.

I'm just too busy at the moment to finish it, but I will

That's great! I'll dedicate my aquaponics journal to you because this thread was very motivating for me.

bump, nearly 3 months OBO still waiting for the pics
