Did you purchase it all from a specialist supplier or put it altogether yourself?<br /><br />Thanks :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-33325551466579630822010-08-18T18:00:34.273+10:002010-08-18T18:00:34.273+10:00I live in Tasmania and because of the laws here we...I live in Tasmania and because of the laws here we can only grow Trout and perhaps Salmon, this does not worry me too much as I love them and am going to learn to smoke them. I have just got my trial AP system up and running with a small container of water with a grow bed above for growing seedlings on my kitchen benchtop. The big system happens in about a week and I am very excited and really cannot wait.Froglips Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102513371491747405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-58948910961678333942007-06-14T05:24:00.000+10:002007-06-14T05:24:00.000+10:00Patrick, we can't keep talapia here but many ameri...Patrick, we can't keep talapia here but many americans do. Our fish of choice are silver perch, black bass or barramundi. All good eating fish. These systems can also hold crustacean, like red claw or yabbies. We hope to be eating our fish in bit under 12 months time.Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-922877962528902612007-06-13T16:38:00.000+10:002007-06-13T16:38:00.000+10:00Sounds great!

I agree about the aquaponics, It would be great if perhaps one could raise something like a talapia, or some kind of good eating fish and incorporate that into the aquaponics system. That way all parts of the system would generate food. Just a thought.<BR/>Thanks again.<BR/>P~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13403847624491620709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-68536016663955468142007-06-13T11:34:00.000+10:002007-06-13T11:34:00.000+10:00Most certainly, Patrick.

Go here, you'll find a wealth of information:<BR/>http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/<BR/>It's an Australian site but there are plenty of Americans there too, complete with photos of their systems.<BR/><BR/>Joel runs the site and it's his system we used as a model for ours.<BR/><BR/>IMO, aquaponics is better than hydroponics as it's an organic option. Once the system is up and running, it's the easiest type of garden you can have. Imagine a garden where all you do is feed the fish - no watering, weeding or fertilising. : )Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-1604535156931042842007-06-13T07:21:00.000+10:002007-06-13T07:21:00.000+10:00rhonda jean~This is SOOO cool.

Are there any sites or blogs you can perhaps point me to? <BR/>I'll be checking back for sure!<BR/>P~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13403847624491620709noreply@blogger.com
