Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I could have saved you reading through your entire thread

I was suggesting you take over the cooking and just eat everything raw to save on paying the cook

I dont remember such details

Now that is simply unfair.

hmm sombodys jealous

tonight for dinner I had
salad, (apple, cucumber(dirt garden), blanched potato and carrot, corn kernals, sultanas, roasted almond flakes, kewpie mayonnaise).

rice(sticky) with roasted seaweed paper
I have the best wife/chef.

I finaly solder the wires today after the pump failed, and insulated the terminals with elect tape, should be marginaly safer, but not child friendly.
lessons learnt
1. washing machine pumps are not rated to run constanly, 15 minutes max.
2. always turn pump back on after adjusting system

hey Bullwinkle
look what I am getting tomorrow, banana tart

Yeah? Look again. I already broke into your house and stole it.

You could buy a 20$ pump that would do the job.

Just be ready when your pump gives up.

if that's 34 watt, a new pump would pay for itself within 6 months. 7 with interest. 4 if you keep selling those veggies

Actually forget selling veggies, start selling pastries

I will send you some crumbs, just so you can tackle the delivery man wearing nothing but your $100 bunnings green house

@ 34 watts this pump will cost 9 cents a day running 15 on 15 off. great value when your getting 4000 Lpm and 10 metres head

When I lived in St Croix USVI A tourist guy came in one day to a restaurant that had a pizza oven and was about to go under. The guy ask for a temporary job. Said he could make the place the best place in the mornings on the weekends. The guy agreed and let he at the kitchen. A bit later he had them put a fan in the window to blow the smell out side. He was making the best Cinnamon Rolls I ever tasted. He only made a dozen or so the first time. Sold out in about 30 minutes. Put up a sign for the next day. He sold lots the next day and made enough to stay longer. Stayed there for several months longer. His Cinnamon Rolls were about 6" tall and great tasting. We were disappointed when he left to go home. The little shop made a bundle on his Rolls.

hmm a stone pizza oven what more could a man want in life???
1. a pastry chef as a wife
2. A cake and bread shop to house the oven and wife.
3. AP garden to supply cake and bread shop.
4. donations to fund building the cake and bread shop.
please make all donations payable to jwhittak98

My system is in my car port now after the day that it got stressed. I have noticed that every thing slowed down in the shade. I will move my system back in to some sun soon.

Three more weeks and I will dismantle my system and move to tasmania.

THIS SYSTEM IS NOW FINISHED
I have dismantled my system to move overseas, Tasmania
I am looking foward to building my second system once we are settled.
thanks to every one who gave me help...

Hi everybody I'm BACK
I am now living in the great country of Tasmania
I have started to buy equipment for my next system, again I will do it on the cheap, however it will be 4 times bigger in GB size.
I will cycle with pee ponics, then think about fish
So watch out for my new system topic in the coming weeks.....
