A place to discuss aquaponics

Just looked at the code and it was images\scookersmall.jpg (backslash) - its probably ok now. IE appears to be more forgiving.

Hi Jamie,



Mwahaha! Don't rely on IE to tell you when you've got it right. You're much better off using a HTML validator like http://validator.w3.org

This will ensure that your website is HTML compliant & gives you the best chance of it being rendered correctly in all different types of browsers.

Your site looks fine now, by the way.

That's one way to describe it.

Thanks for the validator link Scottie
You seem to be a computer savvy guy - what do you do for a living?
Yeh - I don't like Microsloth either, but it all gets too hard trying to run with alternatives.

Hi Jamie,

downloaded the Ebook and was very impressed. This is a great book for new players. I didn't find any other problems except some of those already mentioned. I found that 50mm black flexible pipe fits nicely on the 40mm sleeve coming from the 40mm shower drains and have just got 60m of it at B for $1.00 p/m ( 6 grow beds each need 10m of pipe)

Thanks Bazz
Got a photo of the Black pipe in situ? Sounds interesting.
I'd like to add other peoples photos to the next edition of the eBook - different ways of doing things.

In fact - general question - who would be interested in contributing to a more comprehensive eBook?

$5 for my book is not going to make me a millionaire - that wasn't the idea
Maybe we can actually put the wealth of experience from this site down into a really detailed encyclopedia of Aquaponics - an eBook of course.
Something that every aquaponics enthusiast MUST HAVE!

Flog it for $50 and spread the word across the world - we could actually make some money we could use for something.

Hi tried to join up and it keeps saying contact admin

Hi FF I had a code problem about an hour ago that I have fixed up.
Want to try right now? Maybe refresh your browser if you have the site open.

(teething bugs)

Got it this time thanks

I work as a Software Engineer on instrumentation projects at an astronomical observatory. Lots of fun, usually.



Mmmmm, that's what they want you to think. There's certainly a learning curve to using an alternative, but it would be no more difficult than learning Windoze if you knew nothing. Probably easier in fact.

Anyway, enough evangelising.

Jamie, I will be uploading some pics this evening hopefully. Keep an eye on my system thread. The pipe is called 'Envirodrain" corrugated drainage pipe. Hooked one length up today and it was a breeze.
I think the idea of a logical ebook containing pics and the more popular threads from here would be fantastic. Maybe the proceeds could go to funding research on AP

Ok everything went well still cant find the e book [as you can see dont know much about computers]

Ok, here is the link to the pictures of my system Jamie.

Very nice going Bazz

Well, I built a bloody big net to try and catch some fish and it was totally useless. The fish moved too fast for me to pull any up.
So I did what I didn't really want to do - go fishing
I removed the barb from a hook. stuck a pea sized ball of bread on it and dropped the line in. I got an immediate bite and pulled out a nice 250gm Jade. Gonna barbecue it this arvo.
I would have preferred the net working - I was hoping to be able to haul up a load and use a smaller net to pick the biggest. With the rod and line its going to be pot-luck size-wise.
