Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Thanks RupertofOZ great feedback!

After much testing and waiting my ph is down to 7.2. I'm adding some gold fish tonight and picking up one more batch from the pet store. My Talipa are really starting to grow. I'm noticing they may need a little larger filter system to handle the amount of waste they are producing. I'm watching craigslist for a 55 gallon tank.

Had some animal run thru the garden and killed two of my seedlings. So I went up to the store and got a few replacement seedlings.

I will picked up most of the parts to build onto my system. Just brain storming how I will plumb it all up.

PICKLE WORMS! Those greedy little buggers ate my $250 squash. I'm very upset. I'm sure I will not be able to sleep for weeks! lol Having a bit of a raining month here. Really wish I had a cover for it now. To top it all off, I'm sure I will have to move in the coming weeks. Having huge issues with what I figured to be a stable place to live. No worries life goes on all that good stuff. I have a buddy with a flat bed and a forklift, I'm sure I will figure something out!

Fork lift and flat bed, now that is the way to move an AP system

Sorry the place isn't working out as stable as you had hoped though. Moving is always such a drag.

Today is a sad day for my AP system and me. Do to events total out of my control, I'm having to total break down my system and store it for at least a month before my place is ready. I will start again for the fall / winter garden in FL, with plans to just use the bottom part of my system as a tank, and build wooden GB.

Cheers for now!
