Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Amazing work on the big sump tank Stucco, can you replace out the pump if it fails - is that what the screw in looking plumbing attachment is at the top of the pipe? Really love the ferro work, awesome!

Just read your whole thread stucco, it's amazing how much work someone can do in two years if they post less than a hundred posts to the forum, there's a lesson in there for all of us LOL

We will be doing an expected 80 person tour at our facility (back yard) next sat the 19th and the more the merrier so if you’re in the neighborhood stop by and mingle.

Good stuff Stucco... hope everyone has fun...

Nice one, make sure you post up some pics Stucco...

Im in stucco! Can you book me a flight pls?

that depends on how many of those blue crawdads you can smuggle over here.

Some photos from today. I hope the savoy cabbage taste as good as they look. We’ve had our fill of eggplant and sweet peppers.

Very nice indeed Stucco!

We’ve been toying with the idea of building a tower system for the last year or so. I made an arbor to hang the towers. We can’t afford the cool zipgrow towers at the moment so I went with the web for deb pvc style for now. Still a work in progress….

Tasty mounts Stucco!

Thanks Dave!

I had a “survivalist” couple visit my place today to pick my muh head about everything from what color my undershorts were to how to breed tilapia. As I was talking to the dewd on one side of the yard I look over and see the gurl with her entire upper body in the fry tank “letting the fish clean my sores”. The fish were nibbling on her scabs from god knows what?!?! My wife told her to get her hands out and she would give her some food to feed them.
After they left the question came up… can an aquaponic system catch a communicable disease???

Have seen a few shows on Discovery etc where there's health spa's that have pools of fish to eat the dead skin and scabs off peoples various ailments.. I think they were a special type of fish though.. Surely they'd be shut down if things were being transmitted..
