Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Well I have started to make grow beds for Aquaponics system ,I used pipe clips to make the start of frame finding that they are so much easer than drilling ,also they allow you to adjust height etc., for reference.

Yes i remember England,radiators and insulation,nice to meet you mrjohnpink looking forward to watching your progress.

I remember you from the last blog .your garden every credit to you ,so relaxing ,

Thank you,the weather helps here helps,we are in the cold season and it gets right down to 15c only reaching the high 20s in the afternoon…..sorry i couldn’t help myself. Hows the UK?

We've had storms in Scotland also northern England ,This afternoon the wind was quite strong ,tonight the weather forecasters predict very strong storms at sea .people being evacuated from there homes along the east coast ,here it is near freezing so I have heated up greenhouse to save geranium plants. Its been predicted to being the worst storm for fifty years, yet to see news on tv, Cheers

Finishing second grow bed ,just needs facia boards, tank fitting .Any tips on fitting siphons would be appreciated ?

Yea, drill hole in bottom, insert siphons.

Also, if you stick to updating one thread on your system, it makes it easier for people to follow what you are doing, and your questions will likely get answered faster.

Thanks for the pics they have given me some great ideas for finishing my beds.

Finished grow beds ,just needs top coat reference. , now to work on fish tank ,I might put fish tank in workshop I can insulate fish tank ,also building , giving me plenty of room ,thinking also of putting calor gas heater in workshop for safety ,make it so heat can be pumped into greenhouse , .so will work on that.

Hello

Looks interesting, but why did you put timber inside your grow bed? Is the paint fish safe? Are these bolts/screws stainless steel, galv bolts can harm the fish.
