Well I am very happy to find this forum , I am so excited about aquaponics . I have rounded up a tank ( six foot diametre by one metre height ) , I am thinking that an old canoe I rescued will make a good grow bed and also have an old bathtub that will be good for something . Right, now I need to put it all together I need to now about pumps and pipes . I fish with an alvey reel and I love the simplicity of it , so I'm hoping to keep my system as simple as possible .
Back to my introduction , I live with my wife and two children close to the ocean . When the jew fish are on I catch em , I already have a decent vegie patch and chooks . I am also a serious guitarist as you may see on my youtube channel , as well as how to catch beach worms one handed . I am painting to pay the bills .
Questions , I feel as though all i need is a pump out of the tank into the grow bed that drains back into the tank for airation ?
Could I use crushed oyster shells as the grow bed material ?
Also what fish like the northern nsw climate ?
I am aware of a fish hatcherie in Grafton is anyone familiar with it?
Thanks in advance , look forward to being a part of this community
