Looks really good mate! How are you smoking them? Have been keen to do some smoking but not sure on the best method/way to do it. Id love to have a setup like this but took me 3 months just to get some more tanks in the house, my sister likes to winge it up!

Cool mate I'll bring you a big bag of jarrah woodchips for your smoker if you like, I get heaps when I'm milling timber... Is your system flood and drain? If so what are your watering times like? Frequency etc, I've got the pond part running nicely, now it's just a matter getting some plumbing in for the grow bed and it's ready to go

smoker -





yeah pumps constantly on, growbeds fill and drain every 15mins give or take (~5-7mins fill, 7-8mins drain) they have an auto siphon that kicks in and drains once it reaches the height.

can probably spare some 25mm pipe / fittings if you need some?

Thanks for the offer but I have plenty of plumbing here its just a matter of finishing it off.. When I have a couple of days off I'll have to pop in and see how it's running... Im heaps keen for some fresh veg of my own 

[mattt]

i was chasing murray cod, cant find anywhere,

where can i find bulk tandanus?

[scottyhooton]

Aquotix has heaps of them

What about marron ? Ohhhhh yummy

[mattt]

probably dont produce a large bio load from marron, they are a bit to territorial and cannibalistic to make it worthwhile.

i did look at them... may put some in one of the IBC's but need something else for the main pool. they were around 25$/kg i think
