Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Templeton on ozgrow - its his project. I have a couple that taste good and others that don't - there is amazing stuff on his breeding project to do with genes etc. facinating

All looking great, I cant wait till my water looks like yours

I put chuck cloths on the inlets of the growbeds at school system which also looks like yours ben.
Just buried a pot and shoved heaps into it - they are dirty as the next day - should clean up the water in no time.
Also the bio slime helps with cleaning the water i.e. catching the particles.

Yeah I have some insulation stuff under each one and it is working, I clean them morning n night, ican even so fish sometimes

He saif his were kind of woody on the forum.

I wasn't sure if you were having better luck with them.

I might have to join in next winter.

Yeah there are multiple versions when you breed varieties -
'F' stands for filial - so when you breed two different varieties you get an 'F1' meaning 1st gen.

by F4 stage - as in saving seeds from 4 generations - you most likely have a stable child from the parents.
The idea is you save the best seeds - but you don't always get the same thing as there are throwbacks to parental gene's i.e. fibre, taste, two flowers, disease resistance.

Its a fascinating science. Peas are different to tomatoes etc.

System going great - installed inbed pots at water inlet

Looking good Jay, do you think the pipe sys grows faster than the media beds?

yes I think so. Hard to tell because its in the prime sunny position. But the results are worth expanding it - mostly for easy harvest and manageability.

I can't wait to finish cleaning up the shed(priority) so the pipe set up can begin. Do you have an auxiliary pump for them and is it cf or f&d?

The pump is in the sump tank T'ed off to the expansion. You have to have clean water (sump) for the NFT to work I think.

Awesome stuff!
