Darren,

if you get really stuck and it is causing you issues let me know.

Thank you very much..i must admit i am feeling very stressed about the whole issue as it was all planned now it has blown up bigtime.... :upset:


Are you just collecting empty IBC ready to go or do you have to empty it etc ?

Will have to empty it first, the fish are still in the tank with the pump going.


I am not an expert but it is normal to add the fish to a working system that has been running for a little while, even if temporary. Depends a lot on the fish but even goldfish would require that the water has been cycled for a while - few days. Particularly if your source is not so good / scheme water.

I suspect for some fish species it is very critical.

Have you a plan for this ? Maybe get your first IBC up and running, even if just a temporary.
before collecting the second part and fish ? Dont worry about the grow beds - just get the fish tank (FT) part of the IBC set up somewhere level and running until the second one is in more permanent place.


I am unable to get the first IBC up & running here as the pump is still with the 2nd IBC & the fish.

My original intention & plan was to get it all here,bringing lots of the original fishtank water, hook it all up....then run tank for at least 24hrs then add the fish.

But all the big containers i had ready to haul the fish tank water were my friends...i now no longer have them.... :(

BTW - if not already done so find some time to drop past the Backyard Aquaponics shop in Jandakot.

Have not had a spare moment to get down there so far....but...I have spoken to Sue several times & it was her advice to run tank 24hrs then add fish. I was concerned about cycling with the fish but she said if i am able to get a lot of the original tankwater...it should be alright...

Can't plan the pick up or set up until this powerpoint gets done... waiting is hard! LOL

Thanks again~ :)

What?
You want to enter the man shed? Ok but there are strict rules!
No arguing
No complaining
No whinging
No shouting!
And no putting anything on the beer shelfs in the fridge! My daughter said so!

Ok the last one was mine!

Just PM me and we can talk on the phone about how to give you a hand,
:laughing3: :)

You can't go past the Cheidys for good advice and a look at many different systems, plenty of experience, knowledge and equipment all in the one place.
Free lollies too.
