Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

well since the last post above, I am starting again and I am changing just about everything so will keep you posted

Did something go wrong Nocky? Or just going all out this time?

No is working still OBO but as you saw was only basic setup for veggies, but seem to have the Natives going in main Tank, Marron, Pygmy Perch, Mussels and native plants which seems to function great, but will have 2 tanks in the area I showed you, one will be my natives and the other will have Redfin or Silvers and some Black Bream, also run 2 GB's to start and see how that goes, (The hidden funds will run out by this stage ) so expand from there, I have 2 x 3000 lt tanks same as the one forum member Rick has and will get GB's and stands from BYAP, but stay tuned.................

well have started again and changed everything, and quite happy the way things are ATM, best changes are having tanks undercover, seems to have stopped the algae, conventional BYAP grow beds is another change for the better, getting rid of the marron was another stress gone, getting trout a big bonus , some things I would or will change are better spot for GB's, more GB's and if the yabbies keep pissing me off, eat those as well

I hope your wife and kids don't ever piss you off. I doesn't sound very healthy for them.

Reading back through some old posts (yes still busy at work) and found 2 posts up that yabbies were pissing me off 12 months ago, 12 months down the track I ate 6 out of 200 and they caused the death of 40 trout, and murdered at least 50 mussels.....Note to self, take notice of what you write
If I still would change things, always does it ever stop? but I would have got a small excavator and dug tanks in a bit further, turned my GB's 90 degrees so I could have got more under cover, not bothered with the red fin and yabbies,
As for the above post (note to self, take notice of what you write ) I have Marron back but now system has settled Marron are fine, I have 1 extra GB with another planned.
Others should have a read back and see if any changes were made and post as before, if you had to start again what changes (if any) would you make

Yeah
+1 to that Gnash

LOL....funny enough I now live on 54 ha...alas it's not mine but have a lot of room to build a new system as I'm not planning on going anywhere soon...I have about 160m2 to play with

i guess i would have liked to change a few thing However you dont learn without stuffups or making things better.....

so i'd keep mine the same
