Hi everyone, I have just stumbled across this idea and I am planning my first system. We recently purchased a small holding in the Adelaide Hills. We are looking to make ourselves partially self sufficient by running a small flock of sheep (5-8) for meat and wool, a couple of goats for milk - (making our own cheese as well), and chickens. To this end I have recently obtained two IBCs and three 240l plastic barrels to be the start of an aquaponics system. Inspired by Rob's Bits out the Back youtube chanel I am researching madly prior to commencing a first expandable system. At this stage I have one IBC for the fish, which I think will be Silver Perch, another IBC will be one large grow bed and sump. I hope to one day have yabbies/marin in there too. I am planning to use one barrel for a radial flow filter, a second for a biofilter, and a third one two probably make a couple of smaller grow beds. I am sure I will be asking plenty of questions, Cheers Martin |

Cheers. I have started a thread for my build (Beau-mont Farm thread). Hoping to get plan finalized and questions answered so I can seriously start building. Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2 |
