Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

my heaters are set at 19ish and are all running every morning till about 10am, seeing the barra cowering around the heaters in the morning is hilarious, only 20 left now getting there eh...

23.8 right now...

See u all there

No more trout orders for the BYAP pick up day thanks.
For those that have orders in the price of fish will be $2.30 ea with no delivery charges.
Dont forget to bring your esky's & about 1/4 full of your tank water and some good form of aeration.

Geez Gav, you might have to step things up next year

I tried to do that this year Charlie but the prolonged xmas/new year heatwave put an end to that.

10 more days!!!!!
I'm not buying or picking up but I'm still gonna be there!!!

I thought it was always cold down in Bunbury? It snows there right?

It did in Oct 2011!!

The temp in my tank which sits in the greenhouse hasn't been under 24 degrees and naturally is more at daytime. Tried to reduce temp with 20 liter frozen water in milk bottles..............it just came down 0.4 for a short while (650ltr FT)
Now I am filling every available and suitable pot with water to freeze.
I am nervous, this is my first time, no experience with fish whatsoever............

Will the little creatures be ok???????????

And how big should the Esky be????? I've ordered 25 trouts.

Nervous, nervous, nervous.........................

Sorry Gran, I would like to tell you what you want to hear. Unfortunately trout will not survive your current temps. Stay calm next week things will be differwnt from what I've seen of the forecasts.

I am cam, I am calm
I never looked at the weather as I donow which is quit funny to my family. What do they know !!

I shall cross fingers then and hope for cooler days and nights.

how big off an esky should i bring for ten trout

if i need to travel the fish 20min will they require an air source?? or will like say 50 litres of water do?

If they require an airsource can someone recommend me and airpump that i can run inside my car? im imagining a couple of batteries will run it long enough (i dont have cigarette power point currently as its blowing fuses)...

Troutman do you supply enough water for the fish to survive or should i bring my own from my tank etc??


thanks.

Or i just had a thought, is anyone near belmont buying??
