Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

1) What are my suggested pump times like?
Fine.

2) Will the GB's empty as fast as water is pumping in?
As long as the pipework is the right size.

3) Is this a disaster waiting to happen?
Isn't all AP?

4) Where is "OBO" ?

Boddington

Gemmell they dont dig into blue metal, but they live happily on the mesh in Marron Tank and also on blue metal in Bathtub, I also have 4 in a small aquarium inside and they live happily on top of aquarium gravel and have only ever seen one dig in for a few days, the aquarium ones seem to move around a fair bit cleaning as they go, but may try some river sand in spots as well

for those that have Pm'ed me "Yes it is a real Emu Egg", but sadly the Emu's in growbed are not the real parents and the egg is orphaned as we are on a new page you will have to go to page one to find out the start of the emu saga

I was pretty sure it was an emu egg
Could have been sneaky and used an odd shaped avocado I guess.
You keep emu's? You say it's orphaned, does that mean it's still viable?
Did you eat Mum and Dad?

Nah Kuda, this one has been blown out, but a couple of old northern Aboriginal friends gave it to me to get carved but never happened so later they gave me a carved one as well

Cool gifts!
We're thinking about getting some live ones, once the fire damage has been cleaned up that is.

You had better pick up those nice blue tanks down at Charlies, Nocky. I didn't have my trailer on so they are still there!!

I'd say, too many stubbies, not enough work.

No worries rick they are now paid for, but won't fit in the well body ute, never too many stubbies rick

i'm a bit confused, saw the picture of the eggs and foster parents. shouldn't they read "Fosters" on the label instead of "EMU"? i have been to down under yet...

nice set up though...

Redtail aussies don't even think fosters, we completely disown it, but nice pun though

Time is ticking by Nocky, how is the setup progressing?

We need more photos. (And you had better not drink any Two Dogs and leave the evidence there, heck we live in WA you know, not Vic. oops! Our northern hemi friends won't know what to think.)

Rick tanks are still at Todd's he has sold them twice, but will get by weeks end, house got flooded in the storm so cleaning that up, Town Of NGN has admitted liability as drain out back hasn't been cleaned for 7 years I know of even after sending emails over last 2 years, but it is happening today.
Am picking some trout up mif April either from Golden Ponds or trip with Don to Pemberton so must start moving now

hijacked by Emu's

I am thinking of adding gravel to the FT's and sump

What's the smallest fish you would say, would remain safe with Marron, C1 or Nocky??

Rick I have Pygmy Perch around 65mm and they live in the wild with marron, but if your on about edible fish any fish that is vegetarian as they wont eat the Marron as for Marron eating the fish I haven't experienced a problem, Marron are small eaters and seem happy with a pellet each every fortnight, Yabbies they will eat anything and everything, Piranhas, Don B had a barra living with yabbies and now he has a fat Barra, but let us know where your going with the question rick and will give you the info I have
