Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Greetings


I'm not only new here this is my first forum expierence. So be gentle with me..

I have no expierece with Aquaculture, only what I have read. I love permaculture and run a small permaculture design busines in Southwest vic incorpirating my stone masonry skills to design and create small scale food scaping with a touch of style.

Even though I have never built an Aquaponics system, I'm pretty hands on and will be having a go at my first Aquaculture system pretty soon.

I have a few questions, I'm not sure if this is the right place on this forum to ask but i will anyway..

I have not got my hands on a IBC, (yet) but i have a plastic 44 gallon drum which i am going to convert into a small Aquaculture system. im sure i'm not the first person to do this.. can anyone point me in the right direction towards some simular design ideas.

and I want use yabbies instead of fish. are yappies easy to grow in an Aquaculture system?

I look forward to looking around,getting somee great ideas and meeting some likeminded people

Welcome to the forum David. Using the search function you will find lots of the info you are looking for.

Welcome David, i am very interested in how your system will work and what species (other than yabbies) do well down your way as a mate of mine wants to get one going and he is in Warrnambool
