Aquaponics System - Lots of Extras! Bendigo Area

Journeyman

This is a collection of more parts for a planned expansion plus a single-IBC, mature system, stocked with mature fish - Tandanus catfish and a few silver perch, up and running, ready to start your system.

You can make 1 very large system or several smaller ones from these components.

We are moving interstate and will be starting over with Aquaponics once settled there. Unfortunately the costs of moving with all the extra square metreage is rather high.

Included are:

2 x clean IBC's for Fish Tank (FT) or water storage - unused - 1000L volume or $100 each

4 x cut down IBC's for growbeds (GB) - unused, approx 250L volume or $50 each

1 x 1000L heavy duty 'dish' tank to use as sump. (green tank under metal stand in photos) or $250

* 2 x metal GB shells - ideal to place around the GB's with insulation to keep plants healthier in cold weather. (green shells in pics)

* 1 x metal FT shell - ideal to place around the FT with insulation to keep fish from excess cold or heat. (depends on breed)

* 1 x pack of insulation for the shells.

* = all for $150 (if you have a current IBC system)

1 x heavy duty metal stand supporting 2 x GB's. or $150

1 x heavy duty metal stand to support 1 GB. or $75

1 x IBC FT - in use

1 x cut down IBC GB - in use

1 x water pump, rated 10,000L @ 45W - in use

1 x air pump, rated 1200L/hr @ 20W - in use

Assorted parts such as airstones, water test chemical sets (NH4, NO2, NO3) pH meter, salinity tester - everything you need to get up and running and producing your own organic veggies and fish.

Note the current working system has gravel in it as the grow media - you can see by the health of the herbs that it works well but it IS heavy.

I'd recommend buying clay balls for convenience and back-saving.

Help and advice available if you're local to Bendigo

Note: Given how much fish food is left I figure I'll start eating them around New year's...
