The Aquaponics “Waterbed” is setup and ready for water

Ready for the sand to be compacted for the ‘Water Bed’ – Stage 14

The sump tank is in, the concrete pad has set over it so we’re ready for the sand to be compacted and levelled over the whole area for the ‘water bed’.

Stage 12 and 13 in the Pool to Pond Conversion

The concrete pad goes on to the sump tank for the water bed in the aquaponics pool to pond conversion.

This is the before and prepping video.

and this is the after it’s set and sand is all levelled.

The sand is all in the pool to pond conversion

The sand is all in, yippee!

OMG, that was 37 m3 of dirt, made up of 25 cubic metres of clean fill and 12 cubic metres of clean yellow for the top fill. I moved about 5 cubes by hand. Let’s just hope I compacted it enough…

Another Step in the Pool to Pond – Stage 10

Ready after the Bobcat for all the backfill to go in behind the false wall.

Peter Butler’s Pool to Pond Stage 8

The liner is in and sealed, the pool sides have just been painted and curing.

Peter Butler’s Pool to Pond – Stage 7

The underlay is all in place and ready for the pond liner. This shows the sump tank too.

Pool to Pond Stage 5 – Peter’s Butlers’ Wall.

The new wall is in and all ready for the padding ready for the new pond lining. Another step closer to getting our silver perch.

The Pool to Pond Wall Frame is in… Stage 4.

The pool to pond wall frame is in and the sheeting is about to go on. Aquaponics here we come. I say in this video that iit’s about 10,000 litres but the reality is more around 17,000 litres – that’s a lot of fish… and vege’s.

A New Wall On the New Pond – Stage 3

The deep end of the pool is finally backfilled so we can form the new wall for the new aquaponics pond to be.

The dimensions will be about 3.5 meters long and the width is about 4.2 metres. Depth is about 1.4 meters at the deeper end and 1.0 metre in the shallow end. I figure it to be about 17,000 litres. You’ll see the begininng of the framework in the video.
