Hi All I posted here a while back full of enthusiasm about making an IBC system but life has got in the way. I saw a little water butt in Bunnings the other day http://www.bunnings.com.au/maze-190l-mini-tank_p3130629 its only 190 litres which I know is small but its $99 which I could afford and it wouldn't require much hacking around with hopefully. My question is- Are there any edible fish or edible marine life that would be happy and well in a tank this small. What size growing bed would I need and if you have the time to work it out for me (big ask lol) - what else would I need to get a system up an running on a micro budget- pump etc. Im thinking that if I could get a little system up and running then I would build up my knowledge and confidence to move up to something bigger Thanks All |

Look into 55 gallon drums. That would be about 200L metric. You can usually find a used one cheap. Mine cost me $23 American each. I bought them at a feed lot. |

yea, rue - you can get the 200L blue drums at the little weighbridge down in Guildford for about $35 each. For around $99 you could pick up an IBC somewhere. |
