Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Or even Millipedes ( and the paper clip).

A little bit more done over long weekend.

I purchased all the pipe and connectors for the next ten GB's (another $134.00 to the B ) and am waiting on 2 more barrels to cut in half before I start plumbing.

Tomato's

Gee flat out Gnashy

Hey, pull up mate, there were these bottles if gin see, and well they had to be demolished and no one else was going to take responsibility sooooo + I had to go see certain people

Gnash you had any aphids?

Capsicums are covered in them, and turning all icky and sticky, ewww.

Aparently seasol may have some effect, so off with a torch I go

No aphids, might be that the caterpillars are eating them all

I know what you mean with caterpillars

Trout love them though

Mine appear to be fussy, will only eat them when they are combined with the pellets.

Gnash, they aren't the tomatoes you had planted from the same punnets you gave me the others from? And I thought mine were doing well. Oh well, Things are looking better than last time you were over but still slower than yours. Have 4 beans on my bean plant. Some of the goldfish have been relocated to the pond so am going to feed the silvers those blood worms once we get the rest into the pond.

Any deaths with your SP's seemore? The cold has taken alot of mine to the point of giving the rest of them to OBO to see if his buried system can stop fatalities.

Will drop over at some stage and yes same tommies

Hi at what temp were your silvers karking it

It's not the cold temps as such knocking them over, but the variation in temps over a 24hr period.

Chees the free little silvers i got have been from 10 to 22 and all over the place till i got the valves settled down now remains a steady 13 to 15 deg

Myself and OBO think they were to small to handle the temps BUT I was fairly overloaded with fish in my system as well , which did not help matters.
I haven't checked in with him lately to see how the others are going but will let you know .
