Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi all
Been looking at doing a simple IBC setup and see where I go from there.

Thanks for a great forum.

..
Welcome - - and your first question is HOW simple..

The simplest is to say cut about 1/5th of the liner and invert it above the main part... a bit like what I have done..

Welcome to the forum Rusty!

I hope you're enjoying our weather ATM.

Welcome Rusty. Check out the IBC of Aquaponics link at the top of the page. It could help you with some ideas.

Howdy RR.love the name. Is that because youve spent some time at 16AD RGMT.
anyhow welcome to the addication that is aquaponics. There are plenty of awsome examples in this forum with many opions, so spend some time looking at them. Best of luck.

Welcome Rusty. Another South Aussie contracted the Aquaponics addiction.

We're going to have to outnumber the other states soon!

I agree! Here is a question for all the South Aussies... do you have your AP systems under cover? As in: either under car port, in green house or indoors. I got a lot of uncovered concrete slab I was thinking about putting mine on. I was going to insulate the fish tank with the foil insulation that's normally used under tin roofs. Thoughts?

Ah I live in Strathalbyn

Here's a little walk around from a 42C day earlier in the month:

Thanks col, I must be honest was thinking of using locally caught carp. Am I allowed to use them.

It's illegal. I think they have to be killed when they are brought from the water. Paranoia about ponds overflowing and the fish getting into other water sources.

Although, I can't say I've ever had somebody come in and look at what fish I'm using.

If you buy up some goldfish, you can sell them later when they are bigger on gumtree, make back the money for their food...
