Backyard Aquaponics

Hiya I've just about run out of fish feed and would like to buy bulk so emailed Stirling Bulk Suppliers but have had no reply. Did some googling and saw that the business was up for sale...
Has anyone purchased from them lately and is it still business as usual for them? Perhaps my email got lost in the Ethernet...
Thanks in advance fellow AP nuts.

Haven't purchased from them for a couple of years but looking at getting some feed soon so hope they are still trading. Have you tried the phone number?

Bought some beginning of Feb.
Business as usual then.
Their business has been advertised for sale for years now

They have changed their email address. Here is the new one:
bulkstirling@bigpond.com

If you can't get hold of them, ideal fish food has been quite good for a while now:

It's cheaper if you can avoid postage though.

Hey Columnmnmn you're still here! How's your system going?

Thanks for the heads up Troutman, new email addy noted. Nearly time for more trout, how's this years crop travelling? Are we looking at April or May for the carpark visit?

I got an email from Stirlingshire informing me of the new addy and yes it appears business as usual however smaller purchase pick up location has changed to Forrestdale.
So I'm looking at getting three sizes, 3,5,7mm nova ff. I don't need 20kgs of each but it's still worth it for the price.
Anyone want to split the bags and cost 50/50?

Here are the current prices NOT including freight.

Gday Skeggley
Thanks for the info.
I would like to get 10Kg each of 5&7 mm nova ff so would gladly go halves with you if you like ?
Ill be down in Perth the middle of the school holidays, about 16/4/2016.
PM me if this sounds feasible.

Also interested in Trout for this year { Troutman }

Thanks

Hiya gtk, I would PM you if I could mate.... It seems you don't do PMs....
Anyway I've realised nova isn't for trout as it doesn't have the flesh colouring additives so spectra it is.
Think I'll just get the 3mm in a smaller quantity, I should pop down to Cheidys for a visit, and just get the 5&7mm pellets in bulk.
I should probably do a system update too....

Skeggley
My PM setting has been changed now.
I guess Cheidys would be the next bet for AP food.
Thanks anyway

Ummm no it hasn't...

Are you not interested in the spectra gtk?

Skeggey
Buggered if I can work how to use this PM thing !
Yes spectra would be OK
I would still just want 5&7 mm
If that's OK

You need to go to user panel then on the left hand side click board preferences and change the setting to allow members to PM you.

But yes, suits me I will order this weekend and let you know the delivery date and final cost split 50/50 for the 5&7mm spectra pellets and delivery to depot.
Any problem, PM me...

Thanks skeggley
For your patients, 3 months later and my trout are smashing 5mm pellets.
It was nice see your home in the Perth hills. Nice to look over your system, the bee hives & orchard.
The mandarin's were such a treat.
It's always good to have a chat & share ideas.
Will keep in contact in the future.
GTK

No worries at all, great to meet you also.
Always happy to show off our little home I hope I didn't talk your ear off but we don't often get people around here who share our interests.
Perhaps next time you can stay for a beer.
Catch ya later.

It's nearly trout time again and of course my feed supplies are dwindling so time to order more pellets.
Anyone else in Perth interested in a bulk order?
I have the price list if anyone's interested.
