Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

mc, that looks like a nice sized spa there. My system is very basic with some blue Barrels that sit above the spa/fishtank and drain directly back into it. It's a trial system and my stocking density is quite low to try and avoid newbie mistakes. You can read about it in my thread.

If you have the space, i would dig it into the ground, insulate around it, then you can siphon directly into it by having your GBs above and around it. You will only need 1 pump that way and will minimize piping required 4 your plumbing. Keep it simple first time i reckon and do it cheap til ya got a handle on things. Good luck.

Thats cheating Steve and I hope you know it!

yeh, but they stiffed us last year and didn't have the collection..............the uproar from the residents was HUGE..................Hehehehe, double cool stuff this year

i went ant got the spa, i dunno if i can use it though, it has alot of holes in it.

bugger!
Can you glue patches on?

i was thinking of that. i thinking of resin and fiberglass. its not very deep though, i dunno know if its worth it.

will patch up fine, you just need to let it gas off for a week b4 adding fish.

Sorry I was thinking rubber sheet and fish safe silicon.

i just dont want to put much time in it just yet, i want a round tank.

So C1, with your fish safe silicone and rubber sheet you would be advocating safe fish? So many lines....

An i am not touching any of them

more thinking of hdpe, rubber liner patches as a generic term sorry for the confusion.

my green house is getting tested, 50mph wind today. guess ill see how it holds up.
