Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

when i say kill me i meant the fish. nah nothing spectacular, two splits, one 1.5HP in the lounge that usually stays off and one 1HP in the bedroom.

we usually retrat there and onlt cool one room.

might put one in the PC room though.

Mmm... good idea, could call it the trout room!

Whats the ideal temp for your house bout 20?

ideal or average during summer?

21C is quite cool

i'd be happy with 24 during summer.

but if you're asking in relation to the trout i'll set up a 1/10th HP compresor in a tank with insulated back and sides. heat gain should be minimal

why dont u use a room transfer system in ya house stevo....draw the cold air out via ceiling ducts n pump it into other rooms

they'll love ya

lol, tried it, didn't work LOL

1.5HP is 1.5HP, try and cool more than the lounge with that and it doesn't work!

it DID take the edge off ever so slightly before i put the ac in the bedroom though.

lol, when i end up putting the ac in this room i'll plumb the drain strait into the fish tank. lol its goingt o be on an internal wall so a pain in the ass for the drain otherwise

wonder if the ac would srip water from the tank?

prolly. so even better that it just gets returned to the tank instead of wasted out. and its quite cold out of the drain too, so the tank cooler shouldn't even run when i'm in the room.

everyones happy

was just saying to BK, i hope my trout don't cark it over night.

i just dosed the tank to 6+ppt, which the trout are fine with, but salinity ALSO reduces DO saturation point

yeh but the trout will taste better when ya eat em!
and throw in some lemon and a lime

i'm off to bed, see yas 2moro

me too.
night crew

temp was at 23.5C for much of the weeked (water temp) surprisingly trout are STILL fine, and hungry as ever! I try not to feed them when the water temp is over 20C
