Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Good stuff with no loses rupe, and nice veggies, Mr Ebay has up to 2400wt inverters for below $150, I have a 800wt one for $70 is my backup anyhow, will plug into company car and idle that for as long as needed I had similar water temps for same time, noticed an amm spike, found the dead smelly trout at bottom which led to 2 more deaths, decided to take all out (although they keep mysteriously reappearing) as going on holidays for a week, Narrogin and Perth have 40+c over the weekend rupe so standby for more of the same,
Power companies are universal then, last cut we had I phoned to find out how long and they said up to 8 hours which would have made it midnight, raced home plugged in inverter re routed wires got mate to run me back to work 40 minutes later, sit at desk and power comes on

As long as he can I assume. Rupe - do you have any idea how much of your water evaporates? Just putting my hood on my tank made a 2-3 degree difference because it reduced evap cooling.

My water got as high as 28 in the 3000L down here.

Update...

And spotted this growing a while back... so I just left things to go wild...

Taro, I believe... anyone know how to tell when it's ready... and/or if it can be cloned...??

Everything looks like it's going great guns Rupe

Obviously you're still selling the basil.

Can't help you with the taro though, never dealt with one. Let us know what you find out though.

Hi Rupe, Thought it may have been elephant ears (which are poisonous) But found this on google

Rupe you lucky sod, all your grass is green and lush - it's a wonder you need to do AP down there at all. Canberra's natural colour is brown and dry, most ovals crunch under your feet.

Hey Rupe - as long as your basil doesn't bolt to seed LOL. Maybe you can find a market for the seed

Corn looks like its loving it.

Just been busy VB... hasn't had a trim in a week.... I'll just lop the seed heads off and cut some for delivery tomorrow... it'll be fine in a few days... ...

I've been out of the loop for a while - who you been selling to?

Basil buyers...

of course

Your strawberries look like they are doing OK. I have given up in my GB's.

What is your secret??

They're in the hydro tray Rick... cruddy reject plants that my hydro supplier was going to throw out... been there about a year...

Sometimes they look a bit sick... other times they look great... what do I do... absolutely nothing...
