Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Couple more.

Been thinking about doing a mode for a green house as well Charlie. Going by the left GB plants it may not be high enough, i guess really depends what your going to plant

Yea it was higher but I dropped it down Zman due to the decision I will only use this bed for small stuff like bok choi, strawberries etc I can also put in running plants and run them out the side and along the dirt garden or fence.

Make sure you harvest those Bok Choi before they go to seed... They look good one day, then the next they have suddenly gone to seed.. At least thats what they always seem to do to me..

How do you know when they are ready EB?

They look ready now.

When you are hungry, they are ready.

Yeah, you can have them when they are really small if you want to be trendy.. I buy 3 in a bunch and they look about the same size as yours..

Wow, I grew them out in less than a month. Gotta love it!

Well, back from holidays and the systems are going nuts! Amazing the diference in a couple of months. Power went out while I was away and I still havnt put in the back up aerator. Lost 11 trout but the rest are still kicking and lost 2 silvers but the rest are happy as ever. It was out for 4 hours.

Bummer about the fish Charlie...

But how did the bream fishing go?????

Love it when I tell people that the first thing they need to do with trout is put in a backup aerator, and they don't.

That's 3 people that I supplied this year that killed their fish due to no air.

My fault for not setting up the back up Rupe.

Fishing nearly every day of the 2 months, had the best holiday. Must had caught over 100 bream in that time. Best I did was a 38cm that weighed in just over a kilo so didnt beat yours mate. Also got a 51cm flatty so that was pretty cool. Plenty of stingrays but didnt manage to land any of them.

It was quite busy there becuase they were filming a movie called "mental", they had a huge fake shark in a glass tank on the bridge. They changed the name of the town to "dolphin heads" for a few weeks whilst filming.

Water temp 22 deg today. Time to start culling those trout. Such a shame all the big ones died.

Yes, getting close, hit 20.7 degrees to day. Need some cooler nights to keep them going a bit longer.
