Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Had to look that one up but yes

Oh, sorry guys.... definitely have more pictures that I thought I had posted...... wont be completely up to date as the kids went on a cruise with their mother last term and dropped the digital camera (and 1gb SD card) overboard somewhere around Noumea....

Have most pikkies archived though so will try and post over the weekend... hope to actually start planting out in the next week or to and getting some fish.

Have had the system slowly ticking over (cycling) with seasol.....

why dont u use thrive?.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahaha

Funny, how you prompted me about my system tonite F&F....

Actually been spending most of the week on the soil garden, my hydro setup and the AP system.....

Seeded about 400 plants the other day and have been doing a general tidy up all round....

Buggered if I know what happened about my thread though... would have sworn blind that I had posted pictures up at least twice.......:shocked:

Will get to this weekend and post up.... things are usually getting warm enough this month (August) to start all my spring seedlings, so I figured I'd wait until about end of August to get the fush and the whole AP system going properly.....

The big storms and the cold snap frigtened me right off.... plus I'm like a bear during winter.... I'd rather just hibernate and come out again when it's warmer

I would check this out for your camera mate Rope's alleged camera fish

Well still haven't found the pics I archived somewhere (I'm narrowing it down, and will post them or take new ones, promise)......

And I know I should have probably ordered some fish instead.....

But I couldn't resist a bargain..... $100 for the 660ltr bin (with lid!!!) and $150 for the trough (brand new) ..... now I just have to figure out how to incorporate the bin into the rest of the system......

Bin is 1180*800*1200mm outside... 1150*660*800mm inside... with a 40mm hole at the bottom.....

Ok, found some..... taken after a month of really shirty weather.... not much happened for a while.... maybe end March/April ??

Bit more progress ... Set the other poles

OK... that takes me up to about mid May to beginning of June

Things slowed right down around about then

Will look for the rest ...

Since then the plumbing and siphons have been set up and tested.... will find more pics tomorrow

See wasent that hard was it now all we have to do is get steve to take some pictures of his system and show it We all love pictures

Finally

You've been holding out on us Rope, those posts in 101_2167 are not aligned properly...get on to TT or Faye's dad for some instructions

I'll post some pictures of my computer storage/archive systems tomorrow F&F... then you'll understand why it's not an easy job finding things.....

Well, that's mainly cos I'm too slack to catalogue things properly....

Still, just backing up eight systems and two x-boxes with a total of 2,500Gb of storage is no mean feat

Here's my tape backup array and one of the disk arrays
