Try now guys
Feedback is good

Holy Toledo man! Your's is an outstanding setup. I'm so glad you fixed the youtube videos. I don't even know where to begin. I may have missed it, besides the Yabbies, what are your other aquatic species? How many liters of water are you running? I love those media beds; so simple compared to building them. I've got to add more and now I know I don't want to spend the time and money to build. I need to find something like those here in the USA. You really go, All In, when you do something. When I first read that you were going to try some Yabbies, I thought, "How quaint, I wouldn't mind trying them as well." How many did you start with? How many are there now?
Again fantastic system, thank you for sharing,

Awesome setup Hezzy. I like what you've done with the new yabbie tanks. The overflow system is really good. No shortage of air in that tank!

Besides yabbies I have 43 silver perch largest at 2kg that I have all year round, and I have 24 trout that are growing very well at the moment .
My main tank is 5000litres then I have four tubs of yabbies at 50 litres each and the blue tub is 250 litres so about 5450 litres all up.

The yabbies I went and caught from a local dam,
I have two females and four males in each tub to breed.
The blue larger tub will be to grow out the baby yabbies.

I havnt bred any yet but they should breed easily soon,

I also made spawning mops at a metre long to put in the big tank to see if Redfin will take fancy to it.

An yes I do things in a very certain way lol, I try my best to make it look right.
I made the stands for growbeds ant the growbeds themselfz come from The shop on this site at about $500 each I think.

Thanks for your feedback I'm glad you liked it

I had two 5lpm air pumps from backyard aquaponics , but it seemed to little especially when they run of backup power they don't produce much.
So I was recommended kamair as the main airpump 45lpm which is much better.
And the haliea backup air pump is 55lpm and runs of the battery system.
I'm hoping air will also keep water temp down to

I'm thinking I'll put a bio filter in as well. I seem to have extra muck in tank every now an then.
I would of liked more water flow in yabbie tanks but the fittings aren't big enough to drain it fast enough.
I added a second tank outlet but didn't make much more difference

Great set up Hezzy. Really like the videos.

Martin.

My yabbies are settling in nicely.
Two of the bigger ones have sheded shell so I think that means there happy.
I'm getting some blue yabbies next week. Genetically modified same breed as what I have now.
They seem to love potato to

So I'm up north working but my missus just fed the yabbies potato an realised one of my females is carrying eggs, yay didn't take long at all. I' got the missus to separate it into the breeding tank (250litres) on it's own

Cool, you're about to become a yabby parent!

Yer it's awsome they have only been in there 3 or 4 weeks,
Not sure how long they have eggs for but I'm happy either way

Not sure I think they have 50-100 baby's
