Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

VB,

500W pump would consume 12KWH per day. At 13cents per KW it would cost you a bank breaking $1.56 per day

Thanks Steve - bit much for my liking, though it is pumping a shit load of water. A smaller pump might be in order.

yeh, you're probably right

for comparison the 30W pump i'm using for my little spray bar costs me 10 cents a day

Is that nation wide???
Or is there somewhere I can check what it costs per KW in my area (I dont normally ask for this sot of info, I just cough up and pay my bills without thinking much about them ... slowly changing that though)

have a geezer on the back of your bill AM. It should say a rate per kw/hr for peak and off peak...

Like I said , I just pay - well, actually the wife does, I just bring home the cash...
Now, where would she keep those paid bills......

anything like me, they're on a 6 inch deep pile of papers under a bevy of drink and food containers sitting between you and the computer screen

Not so lucky - the widfe is super organised and has a file - somewhere - with all the bills for the past 12 months in it... me, I would pay and dump...

or in the caseof your garlic fish dinners, dump and pay

LMAO
perhaps we could somehow rig a aquaponics system to run on the gas produced

the sky's the limit. I've gotta go. EOFY and work has gone a bit nuts. Early start, must not think about aquaponics for at least 24 hours..... oh nuts, who am I kidding. Gotta pick up the steel for my greenhouse tomorrow,; hey you just can't stand in the way of progress and lets face it, aquaponics is for the good of mankind, much more important than stinking paperwork.

p.a.p.e.r.w.o.r.k .... heard about that stuff
Look forward to sseing pic of the greenhouse soon
