Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Thanks Stuart, with German you picked a difficult language!
Does it learn with Duolingo well? I learn currently with Babbel.

I'm getting a lot better at the lessons. Still can't read much of anything but its starting to come. FB posts I'm starting to get the gist of.

One of the best things about Duolingo is that it is free.





I'm not sure how good the google translation is but as you can see my vocabulary is getting there but my grammar is truly schlect.

One of the people I want to employ in our commercial AP operation is German so I'll get there in the end.

Doh! Schlecht!

The Google translation is good, I use Google to translate words I do not know. What's good about your translation, I understand what you mean.
I would also like to live in Australia , is almost no better place for aquaponics . When you learn more then you can do it too! My biggest problem is not understanding but the talking.

Google once got me rather badly...

Translated "mine" as "Bergwerk" very embarrassing.

Translated "mine" as "Bergwerk" very embarrassing.
Why is it embarrassing that is already translated correctly. However, most people in Germany say simply "Mine"

No translation was oh so wrong.

The mine is mine.

Die Bergwerk ist mein.

I hope I know what you mean, but correct is: Das Bergwerk = Mine or mine (english)

In English we don't use capital letters anywhere near as much as you.

So "mine" can refer equally to something I own, a hole in the ground from which minerals are extracted but can also refer to the act of mining, ie at his mine we mine for gold. Then their is the explosive device which is a mine, either a sea mine or a land mine.

Your Bastian

You are going to have two water pumps running all the time?


Sie sind dabei, zwei Wasserpumpen läuft die ganze Zeit?

Even though you are removing the solids you don't have much plant growing area.

Obwohl Sie Entfernen der Feststoffe, Sie haben nicht viel Pflanzenanbaugebiet .

Hey !!
Yes I will use 2 pumps . Although consume more power but I 'm also more flow which is so important for the rainbow trout .
I expect 3 to 1 - > FT 3000l to GB/DWC 1000l or 7000l to 2300l. I think it's best for my current system.

Dass ist Fluß ist sehr hoch.
