Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Back from Holidays (and possibly needing major organ transplants )

To add a bit more to the dramas someone who was looking after my system, didn't.
I now have two stuffed pumps .
I left the system on and was adding seasol each day to keep the plants going but somehow the sump pump either jammed up or just plain quit.
Needless to say the main pump keep working until there was no water and then run on for a while.
I will split them down tomorrow and see if I can fix them but I wouldn't expect so.

Oh and thanks for a great time C1, the drive to Albany the next day was rather slower than getting to Magarets

Another bad news, will not cheer you much

You may have to wait a long time,
had both knees replaced recently and when the young surgeon inquired
if anything else I may need, did ask for a brain replacement before being sent home.
Not as sharp as used to be, told him.
He just laughed and said that it will not happen in his lifetime.

Bugger Gnash... did you have any fish left after the other catastrophe???

0 fish left.

They were rather expensive fish too after driving a total of 3800km for the trout and perch.

Saved a pump today, the main tank pump (after some crc and hammer work) is working reliably again
The sump pump tries to go (even spins) but slips on the shaft. will look into it again later.

a bigger hammer??
bet yr glad to be back

Not really, I've got a lung infection and haven't been back at work as yet.

Oh dear, it just keeps getting better for you Gnash, not. Perhaps you should not have holidays again. Sorryabout your loss, I know you loved your fish. RIP

Gnash ... you're seriously not having a good trout at the moment are you....

OK... bad joke .. I know... seriously, feel for you and hope spring/summer brings you better luck....

Hello long time no see.

Just a quick update, As i have moved recentley I had no idea what to do with my system so I sold it to seemore and family at cost. (they got a bargain actually)

At the moment to get my Aquaponic fix I head over to OBO's occasionally and try to steal veggies .
I have another system in the planning (as we all do) but for now I have to be content with my normal little veggie patch as I'm caretaking at an industrial block and don't know how long I will be there for.

Hope everyone is well and ready for the xmas spending madness

Gnash, your crazy on a good day,, must be Kal for ya'..... good to see your still alive.... and best of luck with your next adventure

You'll be there until you build your next house

So, its a race between us to get up another system first

HI GUY'S....just dropping in to say MERRY XMAS to you all...have a good one...Drink too much and then some more...eat like there is no tomorrow and if travelling watch out for the dickheads on the road (no statistics please).

I have scored a job over chrissy babysitting a mine site about 60kms out of town...they even pay me... and there are loads of yabbies for the taking plus heaps of rabbits for the camp oven and Grunt.

Stay safe people



Regards Gnash & Grunt
