Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi Everyone

Long time listener first time caller here!!!
Been following the boards here a long while and finally set up a system so figured it might be a good time to finally join.
A little background info about myself and systems wishes and hopes.
name: Matt
occupation: wall and floor tiler
age: 34
experience: aquaqponics course at freo tafe, 3 weeks of running a system, pet goldfish as a kid (does that count?)
current system: 1 ibc with lid cut off
1 grow bed cut out of a ibc
6000ltr hour pump
solar backup pump 700ltr hour
50 silver perch 20-40mm
proposed system: 5 x ibc (4 for perch at different ages, 1 for marron)
10 x grow beds ( still to be determined )

right now i am in the middle of constructing a 60m2 greenhouse to house the grow beds.

i am a very hands on person and really like to use recycled materials if possible when constructing my setup, lower carbon footprint and all that
i will post pics and welcome any input anyone has to give me
