Hi All, I look forward to talking with you all and hopefully learning the best (better) way to do things before I set out on my first build. |

Welcome to the forum. Do you need a greenhouse or poly tunnel in Brisbane? I thought the weather was pretty mild, in the extremes I mean. |

Hi and welcome to the forum! What are you thinking for your build? Shop kit, IBCs, blue barrels or a lined timber growbed? Or something else entirely? The IBC of Aquaponics is probably a good first stop, no matter your intentions. It's a free download on the BYAP site :-) My system is new and still not finished, but it's a very simple set up - no sump, just a gravel bed and a nice big pond, and I'm already thinking about another system. This hobby is ADDICTIVE! You will no doubt find the same. I only point it out because it pays to future-proof your system by sizing your pump and pipe work etc to cater to expansions down the track. There are quite a few members in QLD who I'm sure can give you some local advice on fish and plants. Best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very very addictive, as Katmac says. I'm in Ipswich, a couple months into the madhouse! Check out Rob Bob on Facebook, he's a king at growing in this region, be it AP or general gardening. https://www.facebook.com/Bitsouttheback?ref=stream That's the Facebook page, or look up "Bits Out The Back on YouTube,plenty of great videos! |

 Attached is a quick sketch from my phone. Here's what I thinking. 1x Flood and drain bed and 1 xconstant flow for the other. Sump. Fish tank. Swirl amd bio filter. I'm thinking i will need cover from the rain as we're entering the wets here and I figure it will pay worth the levels to much. Will also be handy to trow shade over in summer. I will be using ibc for the fish and sump and building 2x 500ltr beds. Love to hear your thoughts. I'm here to learn before I builds |

I've been following bits out the back for yonks. I've met with Murry Halen too  . And I intend on building the grow beds with timber and pond liner. Any you tube channels you can recommend would be great. |
