Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Been hanging of posting till we finish moving
here goes the new place seeing its flat will have a LARGE POND running more like a koi pond with its own filterinjg
Also to start there will be a wicking bed system
To start 4 beds each 1 meter sq 500 deep With provision to connect other beds as money and time permits
These will be connected via a bottom pipe to a sump with an automatic filling valve [ so all the beds will be watered if you are away for a month or so
the water under the beds and sump will each be oxiginated via an air pump on a timer say 2 or 3 times a day via a timer [ more like a digester ] this sump will be filled with fish water , worm juice [via worm beds over ] seasol , Charley carp ,thrive , urea , or what ever i can get
the bed system will have the capacity to be drained or flushed if needed
just dont hold your breath for this to happen tomorrow it will be done in stages
Cheers and a happy new year to all

Happy New Year Milne.... I just know it will be worth the wait...

There goes the caravan trip!

the trip will happen with a float valve looking after the watering all is ok

Go man, go. You have a lot of great ideas and are a master at reusing materials. Looking forward to your new system. Lots of luck to you.
