Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Great, thank you so much Jaymie. I am hoping my system is up and running before summer.

merry holidayness to us













we have a few jobs to do after Christmas

Nice delivery

Jaymie... you're going all mainstream....

So glad that you got it by xmas Jaymie and Axl

They only sent you enough hydroton for one bed
Nice xmas pressy to selves

I didn't show you the pic of the trailer with the pallet-load of hydroton

So that's what you were talking about... Good on ya!

are blue drums not mainstream anymore?

Good to see it arrived Jaymie....

Don;t worry about the beds being a bit bent, they straighten up pretty quickly in the sun if you put them flat on the ground.

I just caught up on your thread. I had not been keeping up cause I did not know how to use the subscribe feature but now am subscribed. Did you figure out what killed all the fish last year at Christmas? That is something else, all the fish dying and then the Cyclone getting your Green house roof and making a mess. I wonder if you had any leakage from the tank through the sealer that might not have been good for the fish.

Lots of change in a year thought. Great new stuff. I am jealous. Blue barrels are still good but Byap Beds are cool too. Especially with a Hydroton fill.

the only thing we can think of for last year is the lightning strike across the street fried them. the ones in the plastic ibc were/are fine

Soooooo jealous

it defintely calls for a gluss of bubbless

I'll have a pint or two to celebrate as well eh, just cause I can
My silvers and catfish have been off their feed and swimming aimlessly and it could have something to do with a very big lightning bang we had in the backyard last weekend. I was standing by the tank at the time and I ended up on the ground next to the tank, cause it was a ripper. I have been blaming everything else I can think of but it was probably that.
Thanks for making me think of it. Can be a bit slow at times
