gotta love it
going with trout again, maybe brooks?
also going to try some perch again this year if i get the solar water heater going
here is another fish that my son caught today 500gms cleaned
thats 3 in the smoker as we speak
hi
well waters down to 7 degrees c now
before it snowed see what happens in a few hours
Wow! the trout make me feel hungry miss eating trout. But it is not a fish you can easily get here in Asia. Looks like you put a lot of work into your system.. Cool ! Nice job you can raise Trout then this is a great system, the water quality has to be very high.. as trout are fussy about where they live. Once again great job!
All system tests are now recorded at http://aquaponics.scorched-revolution.com/ So if you are interested in my system tests. go there
thanks pugo
besides lots of air and a couple of filters
i think the fact that i have quite a lot of water in relation to my fish numbers
and some of my medium is gravel from the river and the water is from the river as well
so i think the gravel and water are fairly balanced to begin with
Hi Robin,
Good effort.
I had to provide the formula for successful fish-raising in eight words.....this would be it.....lots of air and a couple of filters

Hi Robin,
More water certainly makes fish raising easier. The smaller volumes of most backyard systems make the need for plenty of air and supplementary filtration even more acute.

yes gary i agree
I dont have any wild fluctuations that i hear about with smaller systems
to add more volume is fairly easy , even if it is not line
i just split my line after my swirl filter one way to gb's and the other into extra tank
that tank stll relies on chops ?? to take the water from the bottom and let it out near the top so you dont need a lot of head to do this
it then goes straight back into my sump
maybe not the best way but my point is that you can add an extra tank in at any time
like if you have a thousand litres in a smaller system the a couple of plastic 44's for about $44 each then you have cheaply added a lot of water
cheers robin
