Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

hi all a newbie in sunbury, saying hi , (and yes i know I'm near F&F i met him at the tip looking for a bath tub small world huh?).

At the moment I'm just "Testing the waters" (pardon the pun ) with a small system (200ltr tank with a 40ltr grow bed, no fish as yet I'm letting it get settled a little first, but just Goldie's for starters).

but i have plans for a rather waisted bit of space that is sandwiched between my shed and next doors shed should make for a nice 4000+ltr tank and gets no full sun so should be good for fishies

Welcome darkness - so I guess you'll be putting the plants elsewhere.

hello Darkness my old friend

... I'd like to talk to you again ...

...Because a vision softly creeping,

Because a vision softly creeping,
left it's seeds while I was sleeping....
Welcome Darkness!

Darkness - hear our words that we might teach you

Jumping 3 Verses VB? We could have made this thread go on for pages of silence :-) I guess the relevance of the line allows forgiveness...

hahaha very nice i have used that on-line name many times and never such a creative welcome as a song lyric well done guys in touched (although it took me a little to put 2 and 2 together )



yeah the "pond" will be on the south side of the north fence (shaded by next doors shed) and the plants will be on the north side of the south fence in a lifted frame (i am also planing to have the sump underneath covered by shade cloth with yabbies growing)

so i can use gravity to drain into the sump and from the beds to the pond and just use the pump for the sump to the beds with a continuous flow (but F&D via auto syphons)

Hi just a quick one theres a spar bath at the tip at the moment

What the hell happened just above?

Apparently they are all singing. Don't know what a spar bath at the tip means. Like a stairway to heaven, theres a spar bath at the tip.

i met F&F at the tip looking for a bath to start my system in, and yeah singing simon & garfunkel "the sounds of silence"

thanks for the spot F&F but i think a spa bath would be too full of holes just a normal bath to start i think..

Gonna have this running through my head all day now:
