Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

We've packed up a container full of gear and it's off to NSW.

BYAP complete systems as well as components will now be available in NSW, so for those on the eastern seaboard who are interested in any systems or equipment, please contact RupertofOz.

Though you might need to give him a couple of days, I don't think the container has arrived just yet... Best of luck unpacking it Rupe, I hope you have someone that can help at that end.


Tanks in, now how are we going to get the rest packed


Boxes and boxes of fittings and pumps.



Some growbeds and stands, carefully tied in.

Pallets of clay and bundles of pipe, not much room for anything else now, including people...

Hey Joel, did Carl get out before that got padlocked?

I guess he must have.....

Hey Joel - I hope Rupe gave you the right address, it would be terrible if he mixed his up with mine

Well I hope so.... or that you at least filled out the quarantine form accordingly...

Apart from that I've got the key (thanks Joel).... and the container isn't expected to arrive (Gerringong, NSW) until Monday arvo or Tuesday morning...

This shipment involves a considerable investment both in terms of time and effort to organise, and of course money.... and many thanks to Joel, Faye and the BYAP team for your assistance in bringing this together...

So all you NSW AP'ers... open your wallets and order up....

About 50% of the consignment has been pre-ordered... and it will take some time to turn around another shipment... so get in quick...

Orders can be placed by either PM'ing me here, or emailing sales@freshbynature.com.au

The website for http://www.freshbynature.com.au is being uploaded tonight and tested over the next few days ...

The website includes a full shopping cart service with payment facilities for either complete systems or individual components.

We will carry the entire range of BYAP systems and products, and where possible will list them at or very close to the price available at the BYAP WA shop...

As a limited "introductory bonus offer", we will supply up to 100 Silver Perch fingerlings free of charge to anyone buying a complete system valued at $2500 or more...

Anyone that wishes to buy individual components (i.e growbeds etc - for DIY installation) and orders $2500 or more ... we'll include either 4 free bags of expanded clay or refund $125 off the final price of your order.

Offer only extends until the contents of the container are sold.

Sounds like a bargain Rupe. I wish we had silvers so readily available over here...

Forgot to add.... there is a very good possibility that I will be taking a load of gear up towards Grafton the second week of November... on my way to the NatFish hatchery course...

If there was sufficient interest from people in and around Brisbane, I'd be prepared to consider bringing extra gear up to Brisbane around the 16th Nov...

I will need to know, and have definite confirmed orders, before I leave for Grafton on the 7th of November.

If enough people are interested, then I can combine the delivery costs into a single trip and split it amongst the orders... reducing the cost to virtually nothing compared to doing individual orders...

Way to go Rope (and Joel and Faye)

How far advanced is the solar hot water plug-in going and will that be on the web site too

And so it begins... I hope... can we get under the bridge...

driver reckons 4.2m...

Obviously confident.... didn't even slow down....

Took him up to the storage yard... told him where I wanted it...

And 5 mins later he was gone...

Looks like everything travelled just fine...

Again ... a big thank you to Joel and all the BYAP Perth crew for bringing this together... and packing it all so well ....

And Fresh By Nature is pleased to announce that the first BYAP products in NSW....

Will be delivered to "FishFodder"... on Thursday after lunch ....

I just said to Joel at 11.42 did he know if the container arrived safely. He looked in and voila there it was.
Good to see!

Carl, CAAAAARRRRLLLLLL!!!!!
