Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hey Johnathon,
Take a look here. Chris lives in Bunbury too and has made this you-tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmjeZA7XumE
If you are in Perth sometime there is a display centre with more than a dozen systems on display leass than 1km off the Freeway in Jandakot. We love visitors

Thanks Feye had a look on you tibe and will stop in and have a look at yours as well.
I need to get up close to a system to have a look at the finer points of the workings of the system.

I have a 3 bed system in the South Yunderup area ( Mandurah ) This is all quite new to me and i have a couple of problems I am working on. The water is quite dirty and the trout are not eating as much as I would like them to.
Peter

Hi peter, the water could be fixed with covering it with shade cloth increasing air and maybe pump times, the first 2 will prevent algae the third help clean it up, depends on how much you are trying to feed your trout, example 10 fish at 100gms= 1kg of fish, so approx 10gms of feed, also check and post ammonia nitrite and pH results may also help determine the problem

Yep, keep the feeding low till the system clears up...

Hi All

I am in Ellenbrook WA. I think we have 4 here now although i have only met Redbeard so far.

Great store EB and Faye

Mark

Thankyou for your kind words Mark, it is always a pleasure!

Ellenbrook the AP capital of WA

Well might be...have you seen Woolies prices and their yummy tomatoes. they are to die for..not.

I hope we get enough up here in EB to have a group get together on all things good.

FISH, BEER, VEGES and did i say BEER.

Mark

We have Coles here Mark and is why I got into AP, the pathetic stuff they try to pass off as edible veggies is a joke, after 6 months of AP tomato's the missus has decided to wait until they are in season again, but sometimes you just have to give in
What's you username at WAWG as can't see one waiting, one of the others may be on to it already, my site below has plenty of links as well, but your input will be welcome

Hi Nocky

It is shaker as it is here

Mark

Hi Muna

Well in early September will be down visiting my folks at mylup. If i have time and the kids are causing pain would love to drop in and have a peek.

Mark

No probs shaker usually around the place so just drop a line just finishing plumbing up system now in between the 100 other jobs I haven't finished going to try 1 bed with the hydtoton and the other later with blue metal question though how long to flush the hydroton out if anyone can help would appreciate it. And how do you upload photos?

Just did my first photos last night so this should work.

Make sure the photos are maximum size of 800 * 600 pixels = use a photo program or one of the resizing apps free off the net to get them right. and take a note of the file name and location of the photos on your computer ( probably in <my documents / my pictures>
but some camera transfers might put them somewhere else)

when you are in the "post a reply" page where I am writing this now, scroll right down to the bottom and there is a "Upload attachment" box. Use the browse button on the filename line to find the photo on your computer and add it to the filename box.

Type any photo headings you want into the file comments box

Click " Add the file " on the file comments line

you can do this three times in one message

then click submit as usual
