Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Cheers Kat.

Well I jinxed myself there...... woke up to my first dead trout this morning, with no time before work to do anything but fish it out hope for the best till tonight

Almost exactly 13 hours for God to smite you for that one Bentaz . Hope the rest are doing OK and sorry you lost the one.

Well got home and did a quick Amm test and it is less than 0.25 and all the other fish seem OK. Pump was being restricted after sucking up some gum nuts but all fixed now

All seems to be humming along nicely, water is still good after a feed on Sunday so I have fed again today.
Not sure how with the lack of food over the last few weeks but the fish look to be growing nicely also.

On a side note my duck seems to have tired of sitting on her eggs and now the poor chook is trying to sit on about 25 duck eggs.

All looking good still

Is it cycled? Looks like it.
Nice chicken, pretty chicken, soft lovely cuddly chicken

Im guessing its cycled. Im feeding a couple of times a week now and keeping an eye on the water and every thing looks good so time to ramp up the feeds a bit and fatten the buggers up for Christmas.

Gold fish....golden shower......bah...never mind..lol

Each to their own Benny, I'll have the fish, you have the shower and I'll meet you in the middle.
Just dont get to close I don't wanna get any on me!

I posted that comment thinking I was reading the last page of your thread, not the first...haha, I'm a little late to the conversation....oh boy...sorry!!

All good mate

Water levels are looking good still, feeding every day now and am really noticing the growth in the trout, may even be able to harvest some for xmas like I'd planned.

Have started feeding twice a day and am noticing some n'rites but I have the system well salted so I'm not worried.
Fish are growing well, although I'm thinking I should split them up soon as some are heaps bigger than others and it will give the smaller ones a better share of the food.
