Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi all, I have been lurking on this site for a few weeks now, I actually found it while checking out a renovations forum (weird how things link together isnt it)

About 35 years ago I used to go fishing in a local creek for tiddlys (which I know know are either Galaxias or Brook trout) and often brought them home alive and put them into the swimming pool, never had much success for some reason

I have now read a hell of a lot of the theads on this site ie-F&Fs 100 odd pages was a classic and will be building a system of my own once the kitchen renovations are finished (small system hopefully 1000-2000 litre )

keep up the good work everybody and major thanks to those who post their HSMs and the way they resolved the problems, I have learned so much just by reading and am looking forward to learning more by doing

G'day Reklaw welcome on board
theres no going back now

Hi Reklaw, good start reading through things like F&F's thread, you'll have a great grounding by the time you come to building a system yourself....

I am already working out where ot source the IBCs and what to use as growbeds and I think I will use scoria if i can get it at a reasonable price

G'day RekLaw. Yep cheap is good. If your looking for materials try the buy/sell thread here. Never know what you'll find

I must admit that I have been keeping an eye on the buy and sell section Gnash, things do seem to go fairly quickly, I have been thinking about damaged or seconds rainwater tanks that can be modified(I enjoy modifying and fiddling around to make things work I suppose thats one of the reasons AP appeals to me
