Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

yeah i can now that iv got them all working properly willgive it a week or two too make sure then i'll glue them

iv just gotta work out the inlets to be a little more permenent. im not wrapped with them yet

thinking bout makine a distro box or somthing.

Grabbed 10 Feeder Comets tonight on the way home, once they were settled in, they were trying to feed up the top so i dropped some pelletts in and they fed.

there so tiny in such a big tank.... can see most of them swimming around in the light whirlpool that iv got running.

made the strainer on my SLO Pipe a bit smaller as they are so tiny.

Heres Hoping they last out the night and are happy in there Ocean Sized swimming pool, they have a whole new world to explore

Just Shined a torch in there to see how they are and i seen a couple swimming around quite happily, the water is fairly dirty so if there not within the top 6 inches i cant see them... no floaters an none in my GB's

Missing Fish!!!!!

i cant see them buggers anywhere....

hideing i spose, pulled my strainerout incase they were stuck to it but all seems good. checked piping all clear. no floaters around.... so im guessing there just hiding.

Hiding in the local cat's stomach?

my FT Has a Lid plus iv never seen a local cat as they are all in the local foxes stomoch!

Har HA!

just went out with a torch and spotted about 6 of them, swimming around quite happily very quick too there was about 3 feeding up the top....

this is fun and there only Comets...

i cant wait for SP!!!!

Cool, man
I am stuggling to keep my little silver perch alive in the aquariums inside here
The goldfish I have in the new system are doing well and are really lively at night, swiming around the tank.
Beers

just sprung them feeding again..seems they are noctunral

counted 7

seen one earlier on in the day swimming up at the surface.

had a fair few beers sarvo myself kids been outside playin hard. they are very interested in daddys garden and daddys fish

Yeah, they would love the fish for sure.

Wait till you start harvesting the fish and are told the kids have named them ;]

Well i am thinking about making another Small System basicly a lettuce Bed Under my Pergola and i will put the comets in there so the kids can name them

Then i will get SP in the Big Tank and not let the kids name them..... cos they wont eat Bazza and Desmond

Might get another GB on the go today, Been playing with plumbing again.... its near how i want it now

Noticed a fair whack of algea on the side of my IBC Bed as iv not folded up the flashings to go around it so i might get onto them this week too....

Near HSM hhahaha

Tried to change my SLO and what i thought would be fine, Sucked up 3 fish into my GB's, lucky i seen them pop into the GB and quickly changed my SLO Back to how i had it.

and i got to see my fish again, they went straight back into the FT and swum off quite fast and healthy looking....

Well that's one way to harvest them....

hahahahah slap them inbetween some seaweed n rice.... comet sushi
