Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

My small experimental reft is simply a lid off of a broccoli boz, and the lettuce is comming along well - I have even added more water cress to the raft - the roots undenieth look great and are a definate indicator that they are doing well!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

Just wondering what the consensus is on using plastic pond liners for fish trough/tank in AP systems? I have some white IBCs that had some kind of water based paint additive in them. I can't find any info on the compound that was in there, so thinking of using a plastic liner to add a barrier and also help insulate.

Can anyone advise on sources of such liners in Perth on a budget?

Thoughts, comments?

Cheers,

Would probably help if I posted what was in the IBC in the fiurst place.

Its called appretan N 9415 AU

Here's a pic. I can't vseem to find any info, but then again maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

from the clariant website:
uses:
Dispersion, fine disperse, hard handle, for nonwovens, wadding and fleeces, finishing of fabrics and knitwear, resistant to washing and dry cleaning.

an MSDS seems really hard to find!

is there a CAS or UN number anywhere on that placard?

hold the phone..............

got this from a translated spanish page on google............

i would certainly make sure its washed / scrubbed very well !

You did better than I did Steve... found it was a fabric binder... and Spanish... but couldn't find a translatable MSDS...

By the way Steve... tip for newbies...

Resize your pics to 800x600...

He is only new he will get it after a while

mmm, 47inch lcd makes me forget i was the one who probably initiated that "tip" lol.

ill re-size.

47 inch LCD ..... I had thought Australia went metric?
Also Steve how much carbon pollution does that generate?

Let me guess ,, green electrons again:)

Chappo... do you want me to come up and help you find your meds mate...

Rupe your welcome here any time ..... we are having Whale burgers tonight ,, donated by some Aboriginal friends so completely legal.
Starters are Green-back turtle soup ,, also via our Aboriginal friends so no need to feel bad.
It's nice to have friends that are exempt from the rules that everyone else must follow.

Chappo, enough of the ranting....

earthbound , its your forum , but you have declare it as an open opinion forum. I merely asked as to whether Steve had considered the un-necessay usage of green-house gas produced electricity.
Mate ,, it's your forum but free speech should be a part of all society.
I have not and will not use abuse , foul language or any such action , I do wish to retain my right for free speech.
If free speech is not appropriate on this forum , then you have no need to ban me ..... all you need do is state such and I will leave

Free speech is welcomed Chappo, ranting and offensive behaviour isn't. Just be nice... And no, spouting on about "Nazi greenies" is not nice.
