Haven't seen those tanks and growbed tubs before Peashoots....

Where are you getting them and how much?

Hi, Rupe, I am having them custom made. They are expected to cost a bit less than current simillar products on the market.

Really.... poly - roto moulded

They making the mould for you.... normally a mould costs thousands?

well, i am just hoping that i will have them in a couple of months. now i am just doing the preparations for the system.

I would have thought the square ones at least would be vacuum formed Rope.
It's much cheaper, but yeah there's still the tooling to think of.
My GBs are great, but due to the design, injection moulded as far as I can see... which is why even though they're an off the shelfer, they still cost a heap.

Nice tanks Peashoots, just watch out for some bulging on the sides...may not happen

thanks Les. sure i will.

Plan has changed.

New plan is
Fish tanks 1400L X 3
Grow beds 518L X 4(or 6?)

The three tanks have been covered by gal wire mesh for kids' safety.

definately go the six growbeds, you will use them all

hehe. would be nice.

look like tanks from www.aquticeco.com.
Nice regardless of source.
