Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

apparently it's your fault if the neigbours kid hurts themselves on your property or drowns in your FT. I wonder whos fault it is if they drown in the local stream or the ocean ?

gotta do some grading with the tractor, to get the ground flat again. if i get the tank set today I will be stoked....

putting it next to my chicken coop,

and got it all set and level. I put it on a base of sand, with 1 and 1/8 inch pressure treated plywood. got done today with what i wanted to get done.

Jezz.. that's a big fish tank Coyote... the bloody truck fits in it...

is the area there actually classed as a desert ?

I guess?

this is exactly what I pictured Navada to look like. cool

Seems I will need to redo the entire permit process iffin I still want tilapia. may just stick with goldfish this year... basically I need a permit for anything other than goldfish.

just don't tell anyone ??

Actually since you are in the US you will probably get a SWAT team out there and you will be charged with terrorism...

so now i need growbeds. I am thinking about wood beds lined with pondliner.

Do you have termites in your location? Check out JT's thread. Also TCLinx has had termite issues as well.

regarding termites in wood GB: In our dry desert climate termites have not been a problem. I have been using wood frame, pond liner GB's for five years with no signs of termite damage. I live perhaps 100 miles from mean coyote.

Good! Great! Nasty little buggers anyway.

Go for the wooden beds then.

What will you use as growbed media?

I have never seen a termite before, so I suppose I'm good there. I was looking at the pond liner at home depot, seems OK. What is a good depth? I was thinking about 6"? I want to use gravel or hydroton.
