Welcome Ken - don't worry about the mistakes - you learn more that way ! You have two options; barra in the summer and trout in the winter, or, silver perch all year round. I would certainly go for the one big system. The more water a system has in it, the more stable it is against temperature and pH fluctuations. Good luck |

G'day from up the road. Have a look through my thread....Rick's 6 bed, 3000L, and Nocky's....Nocky Finally gets Serious, 6000lt System, and then you might have to come and have a look. I would go for the one big system unless you want to do a bit of experimenting. The advantage of one is only one set of pump/s. Go as big as you can afford, don't push the limits, ask and listen to the advise on this forum and you "should" be pretty right. Best of luck and have fun. |

Hi Ken and Welcome I'd go for 2 big systems, and a quaranteen system and a yabbie system. Bugger it just fill up the entire yard Lots of info to be found about mistakes and triumphs, happy reading. |

Welcome mate, a small system is good to do your learning curve on. And trust me its a steep curve and you'll be ready to expand and go to a bigger system in under 6 months. On the other hand a larger system is more stable and controlable and there for more room for error and easier learning curve. |

Yep, if you start with a small one you can use it for quarantine later for your larger system. |
