When we say a
"complete" system, thats exactly
what it is, Bakyard Aquaponics systems are complete and running,
there's nothing else you need to supply yourself, the cost of the
system includes everything. All components of a backyard aquaponics
system have been carefully tested to ensure they are the best quality,
and best suited for the purpose. Most components in our systems have
been tested over many years, and the system designs have been fine
tuned over many years as well. These are not prototypes, they are food
production systems designed and tested, and proven to work. |
|
Backyard Aquaponics
also believes in quality,
we could just paint our growbed stands as it's cheaper, but all of our
growbed stands are hot dip galvanized to ensure the best quality
product. Our pumps are stainless steel Italian made, and most other
major components are locally made in Western Australia. The growbeds
have been specifically designed for use in aquaponics systems, they are
produced from UV stabalized food grade HDPE, just like rainwater tanks.

This design is suited
to an area 7m by 4m, great for under a patio. |

The 4 bed
system is our standard home food production system. It's a versatile
system that offers many options. For those that want the highest
production levels, you can produce a crop of 100 Barramundi over
summer, then 100 Trout over winter, by utilising the fingerling/sump
tank to give your fingerlings a head start. If you prefer to keep it
more simple you can grow slower growing silver perch, or even koi or
goldfish in the main fish
tank, and stock the fingerling tank with Yabbies or Marron. This system
will provide at least one meal of fish a week for a family of 4, as
well as most of your fresh vegetable needs.

The

the
same as what most people might spend on a mass produced spa, without
delivery and installation.
A couple of things to keep in mind if you're
thinking about having a Backyard Aquaponics systems installed.
Firstly
before we can install a system for you, the area where the system will
be installed has to be flat and level. Preferably with a solid base
such as slabs, brick paving or concrete, but it can be installed on top
of compacted dirt, though this will require paving brick to go under
each leg of the growbed stands to distribute the weight. The area
around the system could then be filled with mulch or crushed rock.
Power will be required to run the pumps so there must be a power supply
close by.
It is recommended that your system be covered with a clear roof of some
type, though it's not essential.
Water
will be required during installation for washing the growbed media, and
for filling the system. Scheme water is generally ok, though bore water
may require testing if you are unsure of the water quality.
So you want a backyard Aquaponics system installed at your house?
Please contact us now and book an appointment. For $160 we will come and
check your site to ensure that there is access for the equipment and
materials, and discuss the best possible design layout for your
personal requirements. We will then design your system to suit your
requirements using 3D software, and send you the plans and quotation to
suit. The $160 will then be deducted from the final purchase price
should you decide to go ahead with the system installation.
Other sizes and configurations of systems are available, from one bed
courtyard systems up to 5 or 6 bed deluxe systems. Presently these Backyard
Aquaponics systems are only available in Western Australia but they
will soon be available Australia wide.

The friendly efficient
Backyard Aquaponics team can have your aquaponics system installed in
no time.
