Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

That's not exactly related work Ice. Security systems Engineer and AP designer/builder.lol I was just curious if one could make a living just designing /building systems in the US. Using those pre made plastic GB's is so much easier then cutting/cladding IBC's. Time wise, it seems like it would be a better value if you're installing them for a profit. I see some cheap DIY over here, but no one builds anything nice and custom like yours. Maybe you can fly over here and start a second location?

Whilst my two jobs seem worlds apart there are a lot of things i can incorporate from Electronic Security into AP... watch this space

I'll work on raising awareness to AP over here in Melbourne before trying to conquer the world...lol

Some progress photos from last night.............

the back rests were made into panels and fully removable, the seats are also fully removable, the walkway is also fully removable for access to the rear of the sump tank. The front of the seats are not removable...

I've never seen any thing so well thought out and executed

You just gave me a good idea. I was going to build a wooden ramp/step area in the RAS so I could access the breeder tanks, but now think I'm going to build a swing away shelf that can hand down when not in use. I'll weld piano hinges on the steel shelving and then just have a few legs to fold out and hold the platform up. Since having step up and down each time you go that way, this will make it much easier.

whens the inaugural tarp removal?

Fantastic use of space Iceman, looks amazing !

not bad for a couple of hacks...lol

sounds good to me

not long mate... if the wet weather persists it may delay the official unveiling but we can get most of the remaining works done inside the shed

Thanks Jason!!

Wow, that is really something. Nice work, IceMan!

Looking good!

Is that going to be a bench? I'm imaging the part above the fish being that sort of one where you put your feet in the fish tank, and those little fish nibble off all the dead skin on your feet. Human powered AP!

Thanks mate

It serves a few purposes...
One is as a walkway to safely access the vertical garde.
Two is to help hide the plumbing in the back of the sum.
Three is to block out the sun.
And finally another seat of need be, and if you don't mind yabbies nibbling on your toes.... Mmm maybe not.
