Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

You know you've gotta resist hugging the mash tun I know it smells good but it ain't good for ya

ha ha, naa no hugging ya smart arse.

Well, we have a 10L Urn that we use to pour through the mash to get the remaining sugars but when I grabbed the Urn I didnt realise it was still plugged in so when I walked away with it, it pulled back on me when the power cord reached full length and the boiling hot water splashed back all over my arm. Stupid silly rookie mistake.

Hope you're okay. Don't do it again!

Well I would have said the table the boiler wad on broke and I had to sacrifice my ams to save the beer

That's nasty, Charlie. How do you plan to get that barbed wire out of your bicep?

luv the tommies Charlie. They are awesome.

Are you taking your system east with you or starting again from scratch?
You will have to sneak a few of Troutman's Trout with you 'cos you don't want to be growing any of those wussy eastern state trout.

Unfortunately my late teen decisions decided that the barbed wire tattoo would be quite permanent, PJ. Some things just cant be changed but anyways thats the way time has directed me and here we are with a melted barbed wire fence that is quite excruciating. Little did I know that life could be so ironic..

@Marc, naa she is all going to a better home my friend. Got some BIG plans for the next one so wath out for that crazy adventure lol

I may need to take some trout cause I havnt seen Rupe around for a while.... wonder whats going on there? Has anyone seen him?

ok charlie I now finished going thru your two systems threads and I must say u are a aquaponics God to see where and what u started off with.. and even with your promtion opening the Avenue to progress into a new home and hence restarting your system all over. but u still shock me of your growth. u mind if I ask your a bit of technical questions. it just that I was looking for someone of your status to question throughout because I see your abilities and I must say I wana be just like u soon. I am soo stunned. but nuff of dat.
Firstly your fish feed what is its composition like;
protein%
calcium%
fiber%
minerals components and amount.
Secondly at what rate do u feed at.
You already told me your water results, but I never heard u mentioned if u have ever buffered your system and if so what do u use, calcium or potassium based?
thirdly I nevered say anyone DWC system with such perfectly white roots. im soo jealous atm. u told me the filtration of your system but can u show me a piece of your filter media I wana see its pore spaces. and how densely do u incorporate it into filter. finally I wana thank u alot for your contribution its so filled of unedited priceless information I for one are a fan or yours. but what I truly loved is the happiness I saw in the shots of your son. he truly grew up quickly. u seem to be a great parent. thx in advance.

That looks damn painful.

No nipple jokes CD?

Oh man, you know I thought about it, then decided, too obvious

That's a nasty way to remove a tattoo, maybe you should just leave it there..

I'm with CD, I thought about the nipple jokes and then felt it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.
