Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Yes Jay if you look at picture 1028 I am putting shade cloth on sides and twin wall polycarbonate on roof if 10 half barrels is to much I'll settle for five and the temps here aren't as cold compared with Victoria I think you get a lot lower temps

Hi all cant help myself here is a few more pics

Please don't try to help it, we will never get mad for having too many pics!

How's it all going Rod? Still got those water levels right and the trout still happy? Plants are looking good mate and still getting growth of ya tomatoes nice. All my seeding are taking off now and and have a heap more to plant in too.

G day Sheepy yep all going well trying to bring pH up slowly fish are feeding well been planting more seedlings went toBYAP today picked up some 5kg 5mm pallets Sue and the crew are really great and very helpful bloody rain is stopping me from putting shade cloth on new greenhouse how's the celery going Sheepy?

hanging out to get home and check it all out. stuck working now. hoping it all should have started to take off and not over flowed with all the rain we are having. Good work on the pickup. is that all you bought?? haha

G Day Sheepy ye I got fish food a floating ring and some bits and pieces for pump and a heap of
Huge planter pots for free I wanted to buy a ap video but Sue said I didn't need it lol

here is a short vid hand feeding trout i was reading a thread on the forum were they were saying not to cover the tank in darkness because the fish wont feed properly and also hide im not having that trouble but i do agree with what they were talking about i have had it this way when i started out but i will change it soon and make a shade cloth door because of the huge tree on the opposite side of house lots of leaves

Have new vid hand feeding trout sorry forgot to post reply

Hi all more progress done on greenhouse and took a heap of sand awaygot roof done and shade cloth on sides with a section i can roll up or down for summer

eventually i will have a system up and running in the green house just got to chip away at it

i saw this neat set up on face book it would fit nicely in my narrow green house any feed back would be great also would i put gb s on the fence side or the shade cloth side or both?

Looks great rod. That blind will be handy

Looks like about 4 half barrels which is about 400l of growbed. What's the width of your green house? I think you could fit more growbed volume in there if you design it right
