Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

the dont hold there resale value i guess.

Check out the site for Tanks Mart. It came up when I looked up Poly Tank's site. Tanks Mart has virtually any sort of tank you can think of. The spill containment tubs look like they will work pretty well for GB's.

I know I can get the tanks out of KC, but I don't want to drive to the city with my old beater of a pick up to get a load of them. (Afraid I'll break down going one way or the other, plus it sucks fuel quicker than BP can refine it!) Locally, all the big trash companies are going to dumpsters or having local customers supply thier own container, and then refuse to pick up out of barrels unless they have securable lids. The local farm store has gone to carrying steel barrels with removable heads that are secured with a clamp. (The label on the side says they contained Mono Glyceride.)

Take care, and it looks like you are getting things going.

BINGO
Got home from a long hard day at work and found an email header reading "hot tub". Posted on topeka freecycle and topeka hand to hand one of those two posts from 4 or 5 months ago paid off. Now I will wait for her to respond to my email, gather a few extra strong arms and I will have me a fish tank.

Yay!

Freecycle worked for me too DRD, got three free 20 gallon aquariums that way. Have been wondering about posting for wanted IBCs, stock tanks, mortar tubs, etc.

Way to go DRD

Hmmm! Moving from Goldfish and Shiners to Tilapia? Best watch it, wifey might side track it from being a fish tank! (Then you'll have to put up a pergola and a privacy fence to keep the neighbors from observing the spawning behavior in the backyard. )

Picked up my new fish tank Sunday still trying to fix leaks in it. Hopefully this try will be the one that holds. Harvested some cukes beans soon harvested a pound or so basil still have more.

the new spa fish tank

halfway back from getting the old jacuzzi tub I turned and looked at my daughter and her boyfriend and my buddy who help load it and said "I really didn't want a red one." They about bust a gut let me tell you.

Looking good Dan!

That is one awesome bean plant Dan. Looks like you may be harvesting on top your roof.

Dan, just repaint the house so that the spa fits in

AP and beans sure compliment each other

Dan,
The beans and cukes look great! Too bad your onions aren't large enough yet to slice up and put with some of those sliced cukes in a little vinegar, sugar and water!
It looks like the hot tub might be too large for your goldfish, decided on another species yet?

Groovy!
