Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Are there other AP forums?

None worth mentioning ahah

Now here's a photo of three donkeys!

Thanks to Colum for the AQ guys to buy fish off too, good price and have ordered some!

How many?

I actually forgot there really was three, my intention was to call myself a donkey ahaha

After posting this on website my sister said "Good to see you, dad and Riordan(my brother)" getting out and about....

Launched full breakfast menu last week, so have been busy! Also got website up (it's only a cheapie but I am happy with it, and I can change it myself which is important as business grows) last week. Websites are complicated to get on Google, who would have thought!

Got some Grow Grips coming this week, which is sweet, plus 25 advanced Silver Perch (15-20cm). Left DWC tanks uncovered for to long, so now have way to much algae build up, which will require cleaning , but such is my due for not pulling finger out! Anyway, some pics!







Above pics are general growth in GB's, remembering I constantly harvest all of my greens to put with dishes (haven't had to buy any greens apart from spinach with breakfast menu). So everytime it starts to fill up, I harvest! That's main reason for DWC addition, I want to plant perennials in GB's, as continual harvesting is leaving gravel unshaded, and I am thinking this is partly responsible for any heat I have in water. Remembering I haven't found a "pretty" way to shade yet haha


Would you like some basil and Jade Perch with that latte sir?

Above is DWC tank with "floating rafts". AP budget is creeping up, so recycled here. Smaller rafts mean I can move them around and show people easily as well. Need to cut holes but my hole saw set is missing :/



Where the water comes in on all GB's I've used old pots and cups and saucers as a hidden design feature, which I thought was cool!



"Locals" tank, with guppies, yabbies, prawns etc from local area. Unfortunately the yabbies and prawns like to hide ahaha

My dirt flower bed, which also doubles as my seedling area, one so customers can see I am fair dinkum, two as I remember to water them this way ahaha



Experiment of growing from seed in coarse sand, as I copied off the Brigalow Farm guys, using their product may as well have a crack!
