Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hey,

I've only known about aquaponics for the last week and I've pretty much spent every spare hour reading about it since.

I know it seems to have really taken off in Australia and I was worried the temps here (I'm in London, England) might cause all sorts of trouble but its nice to see there are a few more brits here than I thought there would be.

Anyway, I'm currently designing/setting up a TINY indoor system (20 liter FT) (see, Im 'down with the lingo' and the acronyms already). I live in a fairly small flat with no outdoor space but my lovely parents (15 minutes away by tube) have offered up space in their garden for a larger system when this little one works.

Anyway, nice to say hi and thanks, the forum has already been of use to me!

Sonny,

Hi Sonny,
Welcome aboard to the Aquaponic Express and enjoy the journey of learning all about fish and plants!
And of course - being able to communicate with the most knowledgable gang of AP crazies in the world.
On this forum you will find people who have experienced all of the problems that you are likely to get and they will give you practical advice in how to tackle them.

Hey Welsh Dragon,

I've been reading about your project all week Good to hear from you.

Hey Sonny and welcome. Lots of info to be found here and lots of laughs.

Hi Sonny....
Say, you did read the warning about AP being addictive...right ?

Hi Sonny,

While I'm in Texas now, I spent my childhood years growing up in London. Always lived along the Jubilee line. Started out in a flat in Swiss Cottage, then out to Golders Green where we rented a small house. We finished our stay at another flat near Baker Street. Without question, London was the best place I have ever lived....but then again I was not footing the bill back then.

Jezz Mark... we can probably overlook and forgive you for being American... but to public admit to liking the "poms"... and London...

You're really pushing the friendship mate...

Just kidding Sonny... welcome aboard mate...

We met in London - married in London - had three children in London - then left London and escaped to the country and to our Paradise here in North Wales.
And have never been happier!

Rupe - I have never had the privilege of living in or visiting AU - If I did I'm sure it would top the list...better?

Crawler...

Really? My parents are in Golders Green, I lived there for 10 years or something. I'm 'just down the road' now, living in Camden Town.

And Welsh Dragon, if I could live in the country I would... But as a photographer, the work is here.

Although the girlfriends family own a farm down in Devon... Who knows?... Maybe we'll be there one day. And then you won't be able to MOVE for large AP systems.

Camden town was always fun....I assume the market is still there. And the blues bars were always the bomb!

Welcome aboard Sonny
I'm sure if you want some help with your AP system you could purchase an airline ticket for a forum member who could provide first hand knowledge and assistance

Yay! Another Londoner! Welcome.
