Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Update...
Autumn/Winter veg starting to grow, heads forming on the broccoli, bricollini heads forming, cauli/brussle sprouts taking shape, Peas growing well, no peas though...

Also added 25 rainbow trout, I got $1.50 yearlings

Hi Lyndon, do you think your plants will be able to keep the nitrates from 25 trout under control?


______________
I was once young and stupid, i'm not so young now

25 trout in that system is not an issue at all. Until a good plant volume is established.. yes there will be limited nitrate uptake but we all go throught this from harvest to harvest.

I haven't seen any nitrates yet and there a 25 English perch in the ajoining tank.
Thanks for the heads up though Julia_bites.

How's the system going mate, just starting and mine will be on level ground as well.

It's going O.K... It's cold and the shade isn't helping much.... But picked broccolini and a few snow peas the other day.

Hey Mate,

I'm in Albury as well and just looking to get in to it.

Where did you get your IBC's from? I've tried the farming supplies, but they only have ones that have had roundup in them.

Cheers.

I've PM'ed you,

Good luck....

Lyndon

Hey Lyndon,

Love the neatness of your system.
Whats that pipe fitting that comes off the 90mm pipe into the growbeds? - is that a sort of T but at 30 degrees? Is it one piece or 2 pieces?

Hope this helps....

nice toes

Thanks lydon. I got a few Y's and T's to see which I like (setting up a system like yours)

Update....

Looks fantastic Lyndon

Nice work on the corn spacing and they look to be coming along nicely. Mine got all munted but tasted great.
