I've been getting a lot of messages lately from people who have just completed their system and are looking to get trout. Unfortunately our trout group buy has been and gone, with the grand total of fish being a nice round 1000. But all is not lost!
Hi Everyone,
Trout order 2013 is going ahead with just over 500 fish currently ordered. It's looking like early March, with the date to be confirmed. I'll send out another email to confirm the date.
Well this summer has been a hot one, but apparently a few members have managed to keep their trout going despite of the 38 degree days! But there's no time to waste, because the 2013 trout season is almost apon us. As per usual I will be organising a trout group buy where they come to us, but this time it's going to happen late Feb. So can you please submit your expressions of interest (i.e. how fingerlings you want) to [email protected] and we'll organise it from there.
I have setup a mailing list for anyone who wants to keep up-to-date. This will include information about group buys of fingerlings, food availability and specials.
Alfred Deakin High School will once again be opening their greenhouse doors for a few hours so that people can come and see what a working aquaponics system looks like. They have three systems in a fantastic greenhouse which are currently stocked with trout and silver perch.
WHERE: Alfred Deakin High, Denison Street, Deakin ACT 2600
WHEN: Saturday 2nd July 2011, 10:00am – 1:00pm
The next time they open their doors probably won't be until spring, so don't miss it!
Alfred Deakin High is once again opening up their doors and allowing all interested parties to come and have a look at a real life working aquaponics system (or three).
Well the open day was a big hit, way more people than I thought would be! Thanks to all for coming. Alfred Deakin has kindly offered to open it's doors again just before Christmas to that we can have a look at the changes. I'll publish the details when we sort them out.
Alfred Deakin High has generously opened the doors to their fantastic greenhouse for the public to see a couple of recently set up aquaponics systems.
WHERE: Alfred Deakin High, Denison Street, Deakin ACT 2600

Drop by and check out a real life aquaponics system. These are new systems with small fish, so they're not flourishing just yet, but it gives you an idea of what it's all about.
You can now purchase systems designed and produced by BackyardAquaponics (Perth) right here on CapitalAquaponics. These are the best off-the-shelf systems money can buy. Tried and tested. Visit the systems part of the store.
I've updated some of the pricing in the store as well as adding water tanks - I still have all the slimline tanks to add, but you can buy rain water tanks either part of your aquaponics system or separately. There's also two types of growbeds, and several fish tanks. Pumps are in there, as is the clay medium, but I'm yet to add the water test kits and some other AP related gear. Checkout the store.
