Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

and their distant cousin CO2 if you want to get RIGHT into it

thought I would snap a few fishies, in the 1st one my glasses fell off
2nd one shows the clarity of the water and then just had to show day 1 of the garden

been told to mow the lawn :protest:

Lookin good there El.........PMSL at the specs....what an action shot took me a couple of secs to work out what was in your tank....then I read ur blurb.DERRRRR.

And with your pump, I have a similar one......do you OR anyone else have probs with the filters cloggin up often????????? Only asking coz I was thinkin bout redesigning the intake/filter on mine ...just for those heavier days if ya know what I mean

bundy, I haven't had a problem as yet but I only have those 10 little goldies, went to mow and the wife originally had her bottom facing me when I dived for the camera - didn't want to trust my luck too far so took what I could.

This is my competition to AP, buckets in (3) is my contribution (fish tank water)

Gets hard to take that typical Brissie weather (sunshine, t-shirts, shorts, thongs)

aaaaahhhh! - forgot the beer

neat as a pin

Ell - Loved the pics! Both AP and 'dirt'.....are your dirt garden beds no dig? No dig are the best! (mainly for the not digging reason...)

As for the lawn... sheesh, in the last week I reckon it's grown 6 inches! bf will be sent out into the yard to give it a haircut next weekend!

Oh dear, I'm a valued contributor.. but I'm not sure what that value actually would be...

Hey ell, looking very nice.

Those beds may pick up lots of algae because the plastic is clear. You could paint/sticky paper/insulate them and your system will thank you for it.

wikk do - thanks AA

aaaahhhhh - will do also

minimal dig - minimal weeds, compost bin down the back gets turned over in it aand that's about it.

Gonna have a hard time beating the wife (in growing vegies) so I keep harping on the fish & crays (she loves both)

Ell

Ell, do you live on acres? Plenty of space there for system number 2!

On 2 acres - keep looking at the swimming pool to convert but it uses a copper ioniser (walls are impregnated with it)

some seriously big greenhouse(s) to fill the back yard tho hehehehe

then there's the gravel

Ell, if I had 2 acres, I would set up all the growbeds, hire a bobcat, pick up small scoop fulls and fire hydrant/use the cement mixer to clean it all, use the bobcat to fill the beds, then build the biggest greenhouse I could afford over top of the whole lot. Whack a 40' x 40' shed on the end for the fishies, and it's rock and roll time.

Oh yeah, 2 acres and a heap of spare coin!

The only evil which stops me from expanding the way I dream of!

oh yeah, don't we know that one!
