Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi Room , Been A long time, but I would like to share some great news with all AP'ers. I bought a House in town here, so the AP garden will be up and running once again, hopefully before the end of the year.

I packed up the whole garden and moved into a shed, all the clay this time was rebagged into managable size lots. I swear this is the last time the garden will be relocated. When I sell this house, it will come with the AP garden !!

I am so looking forwrd to growing food and fish again.

Way to go Jessy, nice to hear from you again.
I guess it won't be too long before we see a few happy snaps.
Congratulations on your new home owne

Great news Jessy... good to see you back...

Please give advise........

where to put the tables..........the block is spilt with 2.7 mt difference, and room on both parts of the block for the tables.

The tank is already in the shed on the lower part of the block.....

should the tables be formed down there aswell, or on the higher ground ???

This is the 3rd or fourth time moving 2 tonn of clay, and I don't really want to do it again

This is possibly where I could move the tables to so the water gravity feeds down

As long as the bottom of the grow beds are high than the top of the water return line pipe... then it shouldn't matter where you put them Jessie...

In reality I think you nee the bottom of the grow beds to be at least 300mm higher.. to ensure a complate drain of the beds....

Putting the beds on the higher level certainly means you could just gravity return directly back to the tank/sump... but means you've got greater head to pump to...

Work out where you want to have the fish tanks and go from there..

Take into account pump usage..
Plus you don't want a system that could accidental auto siphon and kill the fish..

WOW... what an epic thread!!

I have literally gone through the last 59 pages...all the highs and lows of the addiction we call aquaponics.

I look forward of the latest system design, good luck!!

How far do you want to walk to get to the system?

Just read this epic thread myself - WOW.

Should write a book!

Good luck with the future endeavours!

TXLynx, Creative 1, Rupert of Oz, Out Back Ozzie, Dufflight, Monya, Dave Donley, especially to Earthbound and Faye that made this forum available......mate this list goes on and on........it would be excellent if everyone could collaborate on a book, I am just a novice, that loves to document mega mistakes !!!!

But thankyou

I am so excited I thought I would share. Construction under way, raised wicking beds happening, 10 bulker bags of mushroom mix and vegi soil and 2 semi trailers of river shingle on its way to Onslow . OOOOH and yes the aquaponics is nearly finished..... ......... Look forward keeping everyone updated with progress it doesn't look like much but to me it is huge

Great looking beds Jessy...

Thanks BnB for your awesome blogg, I studied it to the T. It has been an inspiration, and of great value

Great to see you back in the game Jessy . Those wicking beds should be awesome - I'd greatly appreciate it if you could put some photos up as you construct them - looking to do the same myself in 4-6 weeks (though bit smaller scale).
