Well slowly getting there, I've 4 bath tubs now, and a 4,000 litre water tank.. So just about ready to start building the totally recycled aquaponics system.

one day in the next couple of months I might get a drawing done :)

Ok so getting there... has been a slow long process.. now just waiting for some timber to build my fish tank an enclosure...

Got all my tubs for nothing :) all old cast iron ones bar one.. I figure they hold about 25- - 300 litres each :) They will be the growbeds.

File comment: this is the hole that the tank will be half buried in... I'm doing this to help keep the temp stable.. ..

Nice work Dan... Good to see things coming together.. :D

For those who don't already know Baldcat (aka Dan) is the person responsible for one of the best and friendliest forums around (apart from this one of course :) ).. If you haven't been there, you should pop in for a visit, there's load of info there and even an aquaponics section.... :D
