Wife loves to garden, I love to fish, If you can ever get joint approval after 30yrs of marriage...RUN WITH IT...

compared to a newly bought greenhouse this size you would be shocked at the total cost of this, free tank, temporary fencing makes great side walls, a lot of second hand things scattered around and Bunning's have all the metal, my labour is apparently free so the wife say's.!!
laserlite & potable pool liner hurt a bit..

Nice Setup. I wish we had the space ( and I had the time) to set up one of these.

Hey Iceman, it wasnt an aquaponics course, it was a permaculture design course run by Milkwood in NSW.
the course had a short introductory to aquaculture, roughly about 4 or 5 hours in total... enough to spark an interest, and then to trigger the explosion that has my family spending more time gathered around the kitchen table testing water qualities then eating meals...

the hot house is impressive... abut 10 meters away is a smaller system. running on about 800ltrs and powered by around 30 - 40 comets, shebunkins and fantails, IBC half submmerged also

here is the smaller system...
