http://www.fao.org/fishery/legalframework/nalo_newzealand/enIt appears to be a strict environment to attempt the practice of aquaponics in my homeland. Chinook Salmon and Koura (Fresh water crayfish) appear to be on the (Very) short list.I suspect there would not be a large market for khoi in NZ, and it is a long way from export markets if one could manage live shipment.Of course further reading is needed!See More
Eoin Ross replied to Courtney Edwards's discussion pH up"Thanks for that TC.I was wondering if what others were sourcing was as pure - bang for the buck type thing. I'll probably end up using KOH as I have easy access to thousands of gallons :) Key will be to add it VERY slowly."

Contemplating having the two IBC tanks run separate grow bed systems. I think this will quarantine waterbourne disease to some extent.

IBCs in the driveway

I've scored six IBCs and they're sitting in the driveway. Still working on the plan for my basement in Google Sketchup. There is a lot of planning still to do - and cleaning out the basement!

Jason Blanchard said… Thank you so much for your comment. I actually just came back from the store earlier with some TSP. I have seen a few forum post about using this. Do you see a problem with this. I should also be able to use your vinegar suggestion to neutralize the phosphate, correct?
