Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Andy's system is along side his house, making use of space that was otherwise wasted. This system fits into an area of 4.1m x 1.7m, perfect for alongside a house.

Below is a picture taken on the day of installation.

Very cool!

That's pretty neat.

Happy AP'ing Andy... welcome

Welcome Andy... Just looking at the photo, I am right that the reverse cycled compressor unit is blowing towards the fish tank??

If so, it might be worth putting some thought into this..

On a hot day like today (>35degC), where most people in Perth still has trout in their tanks and struggling to keep them cool, while the occupants in the house are cranking up the air-conditioning to cool the house... The compressor unit will be chucking the hot air onto the fish tank while you are trying to cool it down??

I know this because I was cranking my air-conditioner the whole day today and I can feel that the alley way where my compressor unit is, is actually hotter than the ambient...

A very good point ...

And making it cold in winter if reverse cycle.
