Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

with something that doesn't need many nutes...............maybe azolla, that'll grow in plain water as it can fix its nitrogen from the air

You're the man Mon , showed the pics and told the story of the bath.....she didn't actually say NO
....well what she said was" you would have to freeze them wouldn't you?" (200+ barra) - so that's kinda YES

LOL, I am I starting a revolution here? A nation of wives and partners who come home to find their baths full of fish? Nothing would surprise me! They have to go somewhere! LOL

I intend to remove the siphon pipe between my two 400l sump tanks and use one as a temporary purge tank....too much hassle to drag in pump, filter etc...but I love the ingenuity

i think its a given that if they let us spend that much time HERE then we're half way to the bath tub scenario..................

I'm waiting to see if he moves the computer into the bathroom.

or the bedroom

i tried to sell the idea of a wireless lappy...................didn't get approved ;(

spoil sport LOL

i got one from the tip its great for ebay 2 screens

Tonight's dinner with KE14 and family 12 barra total weight 2.8 kg's. Cooked on the barbie, dusted with flour and dipped in milk and egg. Very delicious. accompanied with salad, crusty bread and followed by chocloate apricots and greek biscuits yummo! Once again, I ate too much, it sure is a luxury getting fresh fish from the bath!!!
One thing I was gonna menmtion. I have seen figures of 40 % meat recovery from silver perch. After heads off and guts out, these fish went from 2.8 to 2.3 kg's. I didn't weigh the backbone, but they couldn't have been more than 100 grams. Certainly a very good percentage of the fish is meat Also, very easy to handle off the bone, a few rib bones to remove, but the rest just peels off leaving the backbone behind.

Now thats what it's all about......

Looks Good, Monya! Bad thing is that it takes so little time to eat them and so long to grow them.

Stu - did you notice a taste difference with the purged ones?

But with some planning and extra tanks..... continuity is the key. Then you only have to wait for the first batch to grow out, then the next batch is close behind.
