Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Thanks for the warning. I've been having a hell of a time sorting through all the muck out there, and let me tell you, it is getting murkier by the hour.

In case anyone missed it:

Are people really buying that crap?

Yeah, sadly they are. I'm too suspicious, to the point of being a detriment sometimes, to buy any of it. Besides, I'm broken and know that most of the information, if not all of it, is available out here (waving arms in a grand manner indicating the world) through the sweat equity of looking for it.

Oh yeah, people still buy it unfortunately. Well the guy is making enough money out of it that he paid a lawyer to send me the cease and desist notice.

Try this one Paul, doesn't cost a cent and it's combined information from many people on the forum, and WAY better than many things you'll pay for... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10126

Thanks earthbound!

I already have that in several of my computers (for quick reference). I'm looking into the cheapest way of getting the IBCs but I haven't found one I'm happy with yet. I can get the food safe ones around here for 100, or I can have some shipped for 75 (plus shipping) but I think, if I can get a group together, we can all come out winning and pay much less than that. At least that's my hope. I'm waiting on replies from the people who have them.

have you tried craigslist for totes?
275 gal or 330 gal are good search terms

Hi Keith:

I was really hoping to avoid the totes. I think they're ugly. Honestly though, to get my feet wet (hehe,) I'm thinking this would be the fastest, cheapest, most intelligent way to go about it. I can focus on something fancy later (like a full on swimming pool pond, that I can swim in!).

I can get the food safe totes for around 85 bucks. I have friends with trucks so I'll probably end up paying another 5 to 10 per IBC if I get three or four at a time.
