Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I got mine from AZ

...just to add to that, they have been in my system for around 2-3 weeks now and I have noticed the water is clearer, this was very noticeable when I took some fish pics last weekend and compared them to previous shots

Well worth getting a keeping in an AP system

I agree with that Ell, but comments like that will just get Steve more fired up

Yeah, I know

Neilsaid" if you want them THAT bad just come collect them yourselves,,,I'll begetting mine next weekend:).....,,,STIR!!!!!

Nup,,,was stirring,,I'm on the waiting listsameaseveryoneelse,,,,butSteve,,bring that paper clip and the scuba gear,,,I think Rupert knows whichpond they are in:)

Aquablue still can't/wont supply mussles before mid Nov...

just down the road from me. Will give em a buzz and get the skinny. Thx Rupe.

They the same as the ones you get in the river. Last time I was in the lagoon they were everywhere. 17cmish.

Damn, they are monsters - mine are only 6cm max

Might have to go fishing. Are they safe from the river.

I would imagine so Duf, just give them a quarantine period before tossing them into the AP system

Found a cleaner place. A local has a dam full of them.

I was thinking of keeping Mussels and Yabbies in a series of 4 maybe 10 interconnecting sumps.
Will the Yabbies eat the Mussels?
Will the Mussels spread and enter the system and block pipes and such?
Do you think you could keep 4 Yabbies in an 80lt rubbish bin if you provide hides?
Will the 10 sumps dramatically reduce the level of DO returning back to the FT?
What do you think? I know its lots of questions but any info would be helpful.
