Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

We've been pretty busy here, there's always something to do it's just a case of prioritizing things depending on staff and cash. I guess it's hardly ever boring here. Now we have got the space saver system out of the way we are about to set up the 3 x 1 bed trial systems so that we can compare some different aspects of running aquaponic systems. We are still planning how to cover our commercial system so that we can get that up and running again, working on new rafts for the commercial system, got the idea from someone on here, making them from 50mm PVC frame for a float with coreflute cable tied to the top to plant the lettuce cups in..

Just got the word that our huge heavy duty tarps are ready, so it's about time to make up our covers to go over and between our sea containers, then we will have a new little workshop area.

Never boring.....

That's great EB - I'll have a look this arvo when I come down

You have been busy

... And there's even a pic of Mitch in the new workshop!

<--- hands on bloke, with little spare time, so no BYAP during the day anymore

Work pays for the AP fun ness though lol.

Not Mitch, you can see from this angle a little better, though strangely enough, with that long hair and the stance it does look a bit like him...



Actually, big changes happening at BYAP recently. Today, I think for the first or perhaps second time ever we have an all girl crew manning the shop, with Faye, Raylene and Tanya manning, or rather "womaning" the shop..

I think I'd better go home, I'm not meant to be here, and besides I'm way outvoted... They've already given me a coffee in a cracked cup that kept leaking everywhere..... I'm out of here....

GIS is a growth industry in mining and mine site construction, you have a bright future ahead of you Freoboy

Yeh but I'm specifically looking at marine habitat mapping and using GIS for marine reserve design using computer algorithms, so pretty specific

Didn't the Angolan army the other day use google maps to navigate and accidently invade another country as google got the border wrong?

So I can see it now, Rio start mining BHP's iron ore, and we now get the fight EB was looking for...

You wanna fight. Thats easy

Windows7 rocks and runs so smoothly

Linux and apple suck

Don't say that. Got a new pc coming and it has windows7.

But it should be fast enough to do basic book keeping.

12gb Ram
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460
1TB SATA RAID 1 (Data Mirroring)

You will love it Duff

Scuse me?? Windoze is $hit

Iv been using Linux since 98 got 3 machines now running it, missus has 7 and it hurts to use it,

Mine looks better running latest ubuntu + compiz and on a 50i plasma

And I get near twice the battery life on my netbook running ubuntu than 7

Edit.... And I just got ya point rich I'm still in bed bit slow ATM
