Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Iv changed the system completely,

Got 2 115L Clear tubs from Bunnings... (Temporary Measure Read on) Plumbed them up and piped back to the 220L Barrel full of Media, then that overflows to the 50L barrel as a sump that pumps back upto the tanks.

Found with the Bigger SP and smaller JP, once the water temp was bought upto 20c the jades got hungry and made light snacks of the lost 7 all up didnt know why until i found 1 dead with a lot of damage to its tail, one gutted and half one.....

So with the 2 seperate tanks iv split them up and they are all looking much happier today, thought i was going to lose a few due to stress, however they have bounced back.

Iv Contacted a Local Glazier about getting my hands on some 10mm Glass cut too size to make 2 Fishtanks, Rough measurements of around 900x600x600 and i will replace the plastic tanks as i get them made. Also getting glazier to put a Hole in the glass for me for plumbing.

Iv lost countless hours just watching the fish and their antics, its great to be able to see them again....

Couple of Quick vids of the fish.

Should be a great setup with the glass tanks

Really looking forward to building the tanks, they will also be a bit of a warm up too building a huge one in the future......

Will Post pics as im doing it!!

All perch are like new fish now, Stress Levels are gone, they are very active swimming round quite fast rather than just mopeing around.

throw some feed in and they go bazurk.... will get another video tomorrow good to see them all being very happy.
