Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi,
in new here and just getting my Aquaponic system organised,

i live in penrith area sydney and am looking for some stock for my system.
hopefully someone can help or steer me in the right direction?

i was hopeing for about 200 x 5cm silver perch fingerlings or some bigger fish up to 20cm and maybe some sleepy cod or barramundy fingerlings or bigger fish. .
also hopefully 50 x adult blue marron or blue yabbies or 500 babies.
ive heard that blue marron are not as carniverous as yabbies thus the reason id rather marron,

not sure if im allowed to put my email adress or phone number here so i will wait for a reply.
cheers marty.

Marty... just PM'd you in response to your other post... call me...

Hard to get Marron here in NSW.... even out of WA... yabbies are no problem...

hi . thanx for the quick responce, just checked your site out,
far out its exellent,
i live on 5 acres here and im a fiberglasser so im makin all my own growbeds 4mtrs long x 500 wide and 300 deep. the moulds will be made in the next 2 weeks .
im going to have 4 of them on gal boxtube frames im makin myself also.
with a sump tank on the ground running along the end of the 4 growbeds.
ive got 2 x 5000 litre round main tanks and 2 x 200 round baby tanks.
got all the pumps n filters organised putting heaters in the tanks for winter so i could get the stock as soon as im up n running. and in going to run solar powered backup airaters and pumps in case of blackouts
laser light roof about 12 foot above ground level and shade meshed in to stop bugs n birds etc.
will try self polination of my vegies with a peacock feather (i breed peacocks n water birds)

i will give you a ring in a few days, as im going to need to sorce a large qty of expanded clay as well..

regards marty

reason i was hopeing for blue maron was so they wouldnt eat the fingerlings like yabbies are supposed to.
am i correct in that marron arnt fingerling eaters?
thanx in advance for any information.

im also going to grow fresh water weed, worms, crickets and meal wormsetc for feed.

HI Marty. Can you please contact me if you are interested is doing an article and some photos about your aqua ponic system for my blog in the Blue Mountains.
