Hi

I have been interested in Aquaponics for quite sometime but have only recently setup my system.

I bought most of my equipment a year or so ago and it has taken this long to get it started.

After lurking on this site for over a year I finally signed up so thought it time to make the next move and say Hi.

I have a 1000litre IBC for the FT
Approx 600 litre Sump
2 IBC ends for grow beds and 1 more IBC end as another growbed (my wife currently using it to grow out some american cichlids).

Mine is a CHIFT PIST system sith a SLO in the FT gravity feeding to the growbeds, then sump and back to FT.

When i figure out how to add photos I will

Welcome, many members here from Brisbane, sure you will enjoy the ride. Photos must be 800 x 600 or smaller and you will need to use the full editor button below for postiong and not this quick reply area. Cheers

File comment: Here is the future expansion, apparently it has never been used for its original intention and is safe to use for fish and food. Previous owner had giant gouramis in it. I will sink it in the ground a bit
