AP Setback - SecretPrepper - 18 June 2014

Had a large set back with the Aquaponics system today. got my pump and tank but when the fish arrived today most of them were dead. i had space for and bought 40 perch but only 11 arrived alive and they weren't looking so hot when they got in the tank.

Having to talk with the sellers to see what can be done.

Aw harsh mate. Sorry to hear about that.

How are you going to keep the tank cool enough for them? Or are you going for a pond instead (full garden integration)?


RE: AP Setback - SecretPrepper - 19 June 2014

I have a deeper tank with plant cover for them. The ones I have seem happy although they are still getting used to their new home.

Should be getting replacements for the dead ones. So that's good

Be interested in more details.

SD, i will do a little write up when it is all sorted. finishing off the plumbing on all the beds and connecting them to the solids filter.

I now do have replacement fish that i got settled today.big increase in solids though
