A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi guys, not mine but stumbled across this on gumtree.
Figured someone here might be interested. Seams like bloody good value.

That's a cheap fish tank if ever I saw one!

very cheap but i dont think it will fit on my balcony

Beat me to it Nat, I don't think it will fit on your balcony, but it might fit in the lounge room and the growbed on the balcony. You could do away with the aquariums that way lol!

lol ill see what Em thinks

8000 liters full would weigh about 8 tonne

Plus weight of fish.

Well, if you have 500 fish at 500 grams each the you have 250 kgs of fish - not an insignificant amount.

I wonder why you dont see more kids pools used as fish tanks.....you can get them at really good prices even new.

I suppose the cheaper ones may deteriorate sooner than a poly tank.

Are they safe? Could they leech toxins into the water?

You can see the deterioration in the liner. I reckon it probably leaks and you have to replace that.

fish? what fish?

Pretty lousy system pictured gorotsuki...

Should be able to get at least another 2-4 "fish" in there... based on the "1 fish per 10L" principle....
