The one you linked isnt big enough.

Minimum I would consider this one
http://www.tankmaster.com.au/det_aquacu ... ID=AT3000E

Only option around here is Polymaster/Duraplas, bit they are either 2500L or 2.7m diameter.

For some reason, all the good aquaculture places are in WA or QLD.

Might just dig a hole and concrete it.

tony from tas did a real neat job of making these into a FT, look at his thread. really, really neat job


Yes, very nice.

Now, just to get back on track.

IBC's in Melbourne range from $75 to $180. Check it out on ebay.

Trick is also to search for "1000 ltr", "water container" etc etc

Never search for IBC or aquaponic.

Don't forget gumtree. I got my last two IBCs from gumtree. Pretty clean and cage is still pretty good apart from the few obvious bends.

Is there a problem with Brass in the FT's?

I have some brass fittings holing down my air hoses. Do I need to remove them ASAP? :think:

Brass is a composite of copper and zinc...

Both are pretty bad for fishies

Done! Have put 6 of the eight lines into a PVC elbow and the other 2 are just floating mid way down. The six stones together make the water look as if it's boiling!

Bugga, Just found 6 IBCs in Lincoln itself. Hmmm its good knowing people in the right place as many as I want $100 each.

But they have had light industrial oil in them would they still be useful. Would need to use degreaser and plenty of hot water Iam guessing.
