Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I picked this lot up today, with more to get tomorrow. What do you reckon I should do with them all?

Good score Jaymie.... they 1000L Reln tanks???

only 5 of them, I left one behind, might get it tomorrow

Redclaw hoteeellll .....

Oh no, that's what the pond liner is for (3.5m x 60cm or so)

Is posting them to me an option. If not its time for another system. Deeper GB's, extra space for fishies. Pool for the kids, that you can then turn into a fish tank.

do I need a sandfilter?

For the fish or for the kids. For a pool a sand filter is a must. But having a pool I find you can make one up out of a blue drum. It was only when I turned the pool into a fish tank that I realized that I could of been using a pond pump with a salt pool running 24/7 for less power than running a 3hp pool pump. And the filter would of worked a lot better.

Cool idea. Salt pool/hospital tank for sick fishies.

hmmm, the sand filter maybe for the quarantine tank? It is about 5foot tall made from 150mm pvc, on a stand. It will just get thrown out...

all this stuff is from the university. they are closing some projects down and demolishing a section to re-build (something?) The stuff that is going to be wasted
Someone already has dibs on the 20foot long igloo (based on a double-skinned greenhouse - huge frame and covers)

Grab it all and work it out later. double-skinned greenhouse. If it uses plastic you can foam the inside to insulate in winter.

oh the dilemmas!

I'll be filling the ute and the big work trailer tomorrow...

universities always do that with perfectly good gear... we took a medical ultrasound home one day. After playing with a week, we gave it to charity to take to africa...

Oh what a dilemma jealous

I just got home with more
