Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

a lot of work there, but all worth it in the end - it will be quite some time before I get to your level!

monya this could make you laugh or cry.
Went to the doc on thursday with a bit of a headache 6th day straight
actually it was a blinder turned out I had contracted viral menigitis it attacks brain/spinal fluid lucky for me not bacterial as I'd be dead. I complained about my back so doc scheduled an MRI of lumber/mid thorasic for the next day in Bunbury.
Returning monday doc said, as he looked at the xrays and read the report I have 5 discs with lesions two minor three severe and nerve impingments on all ouch! then came the best of all, see this hip, looks like normal and this one looks moth eaten. If my wife wasn't there I could not have told you this because I'd have thought I heard wrong.Have to laugh.
Have to think there are other people worse of than me.
PS had a rear ender 8 years ago. not for me
PSS still dislike the other driver

That's freaky. I had a splitting headache that lasted 7 days last week. Swallowing panadeine forte like m& M's and no relief. Went to the doc on about day 4, reckons linked to my back. Had MRI last week (been waiting 6 months- public system) hated it, claustophobic and didn't realise how damn small that tunnel is. Back to the neurosurgeon next week.
2 days ago, headache fires up again 5am right across my eyes and across the top of my head. Has sort of gone away, but threatens to hit me agian. Totally gives you the shits

Viral meningitis sounds ugly, I'm assuming being viral it rectified itself and the headache went away?

nearly gone thanks.
Do feel better now thank goodness.
Hope you have one of those ergo chairs like Ive got cause the comp kills my back in a normal chair.

Good night all.

Nah, gotta get a decent chair. Until I found this forum I only every used the computer for email and internet banking, now I'm on here every night! Old chair I'm sitting on is not worth owning.

Found this on Digg just now. Add enough 1000 liter tanks and you can make a dance club!

Club AP? Club EB? Club AM? Club Steve?

now why aren't there fish sillouetted in that picture

Looks a bit fishy.
Maybe when the lights come on the people go home then the fish come out to play.

Well the addiction has hit hard. I just payed for a poly 4500ltr tank.

Its 2.1m x 1.2m and I am going to chop off the top turn it over and I will then have a fish tank and grow bed.

Have spent a good portion of the week at my desk at work ringing around for good deals. Then when I come home I am busy reading this forum..

Cant wait for start and cant wait for EB's book and CD to get here.

Big red, we are all suffering the same ailments.

The symptoms are wide and varied, but the cure is not yet found, as you can see from Joel's backyard, one system is never enough. I have my first system under construction and number 2 in planning...

I have a tank 8m x 1.4 use to be taller but a tree fell on it. Thinking of stocking it and having grow beds around the edge. though am concerned that putting all fish in one tank could be risky(like all eggs in one basket).
Also doing my head in as I saw a post that refered to which fish can handle life together, buggered if I can find it.Any ideas?

Howmany litres is that tank? As long as the fish are healthy when you put them in and you have enough airation and filtration, you should beokay IMHO

Monya , tis about 14000 gal.60000 ltrs
used to be one of two rainwater tanks but the insurance company bought us a new one when the tree fell on it.

With such a huge water amount, you should set some records for fish quanities. Go C1, sounds very very exciting.
