Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

My fish were doing the sucking for air thing as well, got the last ones into the tanks at about 11pm, and I reckon that would almost have to be the limit for time spent in the bags.

The water smelt really bad, and the fish were trying to push each other out of the water.

The would have been in the bags for almost 18 hours

Keep an eye on them for a day or two OB... and try and resist feeding them too much

Sounds like you just got them home in time...... hope they're not suffering from terminal stress....

Be prepared to salt them if you spot any fungus or they start "flashing"

they look way cool. i like the shape, were they hard to hammer in the peg? how long did u heat the pipe up?

Dp heat the pipe up until you can flex the cut with your finger (do this part quickly ) Then push in the wedge by hand.

The trick is to only heat the pipe enough for it to mold around the wedge, too much heat and the pipe starts tearing at the edges of the cut.

Hows the new fish Gnash?
What are your readings, cause u can?
Where the pics of your handywork? c'mon now!

yeah come on show everyone your bling bling

I currently have a ph of 7 and ammonia is just showing.

The fish appear to be happy and are feeding well, hardest part is to limit the feed:)

Nice work, are those towers for your strawberries.? Good to see it all coming together.

Good to hear Gnash. Happy times.

Certainly are although I might try other plants in one of them

Aren't they illegal??????

Only to those who think so

Oh no he wouldn't do those ones outback.
