Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Things are still moving along.
Here are the Ft's cut and HP washed.
And GB and sump setup,
Sump will have to be joined with some uniseals at lowest point I can get to.
1400L worth of GB, 1300L worth of sump, 2000L of FT's.

Who's had sucess with washing IBC's with some sort of oil in them ie hydraulic/motor oil. I can get more for $O but they have had oil in them????

i used clothing detergent, then bleach, then vinegar..
let it sit in the sun for a few days after that, and you should be good

Things are moving along slowly, I'm already thinking of a system expansion already.
Couple of pics...
Collected 4 more IC's for $0

1 Extra for rainwater tank, fill frm the shed to top up the system.

Layout change No. 27

Fishtank SLO Outlet, lets hope they don't leak.

More piping.

My system runs 2 independent SLOs from 2 separate tanks and has no sump! Well... I have a sump growbed. All my GBs are CF. Works great!

Hey.... who said you could burrow my ute.....

Nice progress there Lyndon!

Hey

I really like your truck.....

only thing I see wrong with it is the steering wheel is on the wrong side....

hey they might have an import model for the US you can only ask..

But check which wheel's are on them..

Had a friend in the US get one of our sports model's.. Monroe but it came with the US issue wheels not the one he wanted.. Oz issue..

You can only ask...

And yes I have seen some of the Truck's Ute's you guy's have which to us would be a monster truck... VERY BIG..

Juergen

No,no,no Decal..... You're sitting on the passengers side... ... just move over...

That is one nice truck. What make is it. I would even like with the wheel on the wrong side. Good luck with your system sounds like your coming along. Larry

Larry... it's known a s a Commodore VE SS V Ute in Australia... made in 2007...

It was supposed to have been released in the US about the same time... and even recently was rumoured that Chevrolet would... under the badge... "El Camino"

But Holden/GM.... here in OZ... canned the export program only weeks ago...

The V8 sports wagon was sold as the Pontiac 8 ....

I knew the pic of my ute would get some attention, for you yanks it's a Holden (GM) VY SS Utilitly vehicle. Think of a El Camino crossed with a Pontiac GTO. (Shape of a El Camino and almost everything from a 04 GTO) and it's a modified V8 too....

I'll finish the plumbing tomorrow and fill the grow beds with media, and if time purchase a pump.

Nice im going to do a similar thing with my next setup in regards to the ibc/sump config. Be intetesting to see how yours comes along

Cant beat a holden ute.....with a chevy engine!!

Especially if it can "holden" two IBCs! That's an AP ride for sure!
