Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

23 seconds of pure excitement Nige you must of been on the coopers when yo filmed that, it was making me sea sick watching it but good to see you only went to MK2 and it works, was a couple of other links to different bio filters came up after you're vid

Thanks Paul - you're making me feel maybe I should throw this job in and get into making movies professionally

Have made some progress - yay

This is how I spent the first 2 days of 2010; putting in terracing for my GBs to sit on.

There's another terrace to go yet before I start backfilling, but that's about a week and a half away as I have to do a bit of travelling soon.

Certainly envy all you people out there with flat land to work on - must be nice.

However, I am compensated to a degree as my sloping location does give me this;

Looks like the FT is finally ready

Yeah Simo - I wish - could have a great number of fish in a 37,000 litre FT. It's even got a gas heater so could do barra all year round

and your not doing this because....

ah Quachy - that would be because of the 3 women that would wage incessant war should I proceed along those lines.

I'm happy to sit in there and have a Coopers while a barra nibbles my toes or jumps up and try and take the snag out of my hand. However, the afore mentioned women do not find this remotely suitable for some reason that eludes me .....

King Erik XIV has somehow convinced his family to convert the pool, I think anyhow, but was also looking at trade off's in converting half the pool, but me personally, can't see what they would be complaining about, swimming with a few trout, Yabbies and the odd cobbler tell them to toughen up Nige
Nice view and good to see things are starting to happen

I have been busy.

Due to raging criticism of the video of my airlift biofilter that I posted a little while ago on this thread, I have now created the new improved version.

There is still no plot, no protagonist and no love interest. Spielberg and Hanks both failed to respond to my offer of an active part in the production. No car chases, no tits and arse, and nothing gets blown up.

However it does have commentary and more stable camera work - see here

Nige I see this is the epic version increased to 2.21 minutes, commentary out of this world, watch out Ritchie B, no ads which was also great, I think you are going to rival Killer Tomato's we weren't taking the piss out of version 1 if your getting into the movie world you have to pay off the critics to get the good feedback

I'll see if I can buy you off with some bacon next month

No worries Nigel sounds good, we have some trout left to cook up as well, will be back first week in Feb and one weekend end we will be on the red fin drag but make a date and will work around that, will pm my phone number soon

The snag that is not in your hand would be more of a worry!

Just leave the pool maintenance up to the three women and you may have a big fish tank sooner rather than later.

Yeah, hadn't thought of that - do skinny dip pretty regularly to annoy the nosy neighbours on one side !


Surprisingly both daughters are pretty good at getting out there and cleaning it up. Primarily I think this is because that way them and their friends will be able to play in it a lot sooner than if they waited for me to do it. Sort of a win and a lose at the same time really
