Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

hello,
I am a new member located in Mandurah.
My company Eagle Rota Moulding manufactures the grow beds for BYAP,Joel, Faye and Carl, congratulations to all three of you WELL done..
After watching for some time finally got round to setting up a system and getting fish and the vege's etc going.
Ex farmer from the 70,s, machinery manufacturer and Rota moulder since 1980 it was exciting to help Joel and crew and watch all this grow and expand as it has, What a future this system has...
We have developed and perfected a sandwich wall construction in poly tanks and will take this further in the next year or so.
By having an insulating wall structure we are finding that the temp differential is more even and should work well when its about 25mm thick.
Unfortunately the oven is not large enough for really big tanks but will prove up the technology first, Tanks available through BYAP are 2200 x x1200 about 1800 litres, will post pics if anyones interested.
Enough of the ...

Welcome. You make pretty tanks and GB's.

Thanks,
I am only making the grow beds, and will get to tanks, bit busy on a lot of other stuff but will get to them in time

So we'll have pictures of the finished products in time for Xmas then Eaglerm ... "headbang: ... :mrgeen:....

I'm interested... please do show some piccies... have been keeping my eye peeled for a tank that might stock about 40-60 fish.. so that I can renew fish batches every 3-4 months. which means between 1000L to 2000L... 1800L would be perfect but BYAP has 500L or 1000L which are too little size and 3000L is too expensive
also round tanks are actually better and easier to handle for fish.

Jen we also have 2000l tanks at the shop if you are interested.
