Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Beeso - I've got a few big bushes here, but have never had the energy to sit down and collect all depod enough seeds to make it worthwhile.

vb i am growing seedlings for when i get my land to establish my fruit orchard

Mate - if you ever need seeds - I have hundreds of pods. I grew a whole heap of seedlings earlier in the year but never got around to planting them out where they need to go.

this is what i have been up too

Hey Damien, good to hear from you again ... and good to see things are still going along fine....

Curious, the third picture the small screened enclosure by the pile of blocks....

What is it and what for??

Thats the breeding tank. The front is covered to block out the light, the netting is over the biofilter. the biofilter has a layer of gravel in with i strike cutting and sow seeds.

In pic two i removed the cover to take some pics of the breeders the bio filter is standing on the blocks you can see in the thank

Good one Damien

Have you had any troubles with pH levels remaining stable

yo guys whats up long time no chat.

This is going to be my new pond a hole 15 feet long 5 wide and slopeing from 2 to3 feet.

Hi Damian! It has been a long time. Looks like you've still got a fair bit of digging to do on that hole yet

well it looks shallower than it is and i will put a course of blocks around the edge to make up the last 4inches.

the site is pretty near a plubic road so i will have to atleast cover the fish tanks from courious onlookers.

Hi Cg, merry chrissy. I can laugh now, cause i know ALL about digging holes in the ground. Hope u have a mechanical digger or a lotta friends! I have been impressed with the way u continue to adapt ur system to find a way that works. I love the fish hiding in the hollow block in ur tank. Good to hear from u.

Hi, CG! It's great to hear from you again. What are you going to do with so many tomatoes? Do you have a market to sell them at?

well i ent think about what to do with all the tomatos but when i get them we will find out.
yeah twintragics i dont mind makeing mistakes and i get board quickly so to constantly change the system is not a problem. in fact i like the chlange but its time that i make some money from this thing.

I am thinking about flood and drain grow beds, the thing is that if i flood all the beds at once to much water will be removed from the fish tank leaveing the fish high and dry. Has anyone found a way to deal with this problem??? am sure it came up allready.

hey janet long time no chat!!!! i remember when u had 500 post. lol.

This is my solution to the problem at hand. a auto leveling tank. Just a tank with a lower float valve and a upper over flow. that should keep the water level constant
