G'Day Folks. Here's an update on the trickle/biofilter & siphon designs I've been playing with through the week. Also included a look at the oyster mushroom bags & buckets we have on the grow.
Will post update pictures on the oyster mushroom buckets on our community tab later on in the week. 🍄🍄👍

Hey Rob, you might want to checkout Wrighty on KZbin, he shows you how to build sieve filters drum filters, his own biofiltration and even a protein skimmer in his website where you buy his plans. You can assure youself if you build a simple sieve filter in your system youd have perfect mechanical filtration. And just have to power wash off any algae that grows on the screen. Love your content

A suggestion to avoid the solid build up, is like you said. Putting different grades of filter mesh on top of eachother. With a very fine first and coarser down the line. That way, those at teh bottom survive for longer than the top one. But, you can potentially wash/hose the top one, a lot more often. For example, use an old t-shirt or similar that doesn't seem too thickly woven for a fine filter capture.

Hey Ernie. The radial flow settlers work a little better than the swirls from what I've read & from what folks that have tried both tell me.

Out of all the aquaponics videos on youtube, I have only seen one person using a super fine steel mesh(?) to remove solids. He had the water running down and you could see the solids slowly building up and the bottom of the curved filter. He removed the solids daily, I think, and added it to a compost cycle. Is the price of this type of filter too high, is that why nobody else uses it?

Mushrooms always look interesting, shame I am allergic to them lol I did want to give you an update on the bell syphon. Well, I have a dozen random odd pieces of PVC pipe (trying to work out how to connect the drain to my setup). I wasn't too happy with the level left in the bed, so after searching Reece had a 65mm to 90mm coupling, expensive yes, but allowed me to get over the 1" bulkhead top nut. For some reason, it seems to turbocharge the bell,. But is working nicely. Got some plants in there atm trying to get some roots to grow to pop them into the NFT system.

You could pump from the pond to the grow beds (via a solids filter if you wanted to add one) & have them drain back into the pond. Would be a good idea to make sure that there's more than enough water in the pond to not only fill the beds but also to have enough water to cover the pump in the pond & not stress the fish out. You would basically set it up like the "basic system," I run through in this clip, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoK0cmh4pbx-m8U Hope that helps some.

🤣 They have been dealt with & blocked. It was a soil based hydro system with a "but wait, THERE'S MORE!" style sale I did point out that most folks grow with aquaponics to get fish to harvest over on his FB page but he hasn't responded yet.😉 Cheers Tabitha.

They're based in Wauchope on the mid-north coast of NSW so postage might be a bit of a kicker depending on where you live.

Hi Mel. I was sure I responded to this yesterday but I can't see the post now. 🤔 I was having issues adding his URL's to the block list. Found out adsense doesn't like ad blockers so added them once I turned it off yesterday. He's another Click Funnel entrepreneur. The sales clip goes for 20min & you still have no idea what you're buying at the end of it. From what I gleaned from the clip & reading others posts I'm guessing that is selling a soil hydro system. In it he's using his own special soil mix & compost tea brew as bait. I suspect he may also be using IM/EM as well. He also misses that fact that most folks grow with aquaponics for the fish.😉 Hope you folks are doing OK with all the wild weather down there.
