What do you do with your trout over summer?

Tue, 05/28/2013 - 13:27 — gemmell

It really depends on the summer. If we have a hot summer here in Canberra, you are really fighting with nature. It can be done, but you have to put some effort into making sure you have enough oxygenation going on. Trout will struggle at a water temp of roughly 24 degrees and over (of course it also depends on stocking densities and a whole bunch of other factors).
 

What to do if you missed out on trout

Mon, 05/20/2013 - 10:04 — gemmell

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!
 

Trout order 2013

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.
 

The 2013 trout season is just around the corner!

Tue, 01/15/2013 - 14:45 — gemmell

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.

Aquaponics Open Day July 2011

Tue, 06/07/2011 - 22:23 — gemmell

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!

Aquaponics Open Day II (4th December 2010)

Aquaponics Open Day

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.

Aquaponics Open Day

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
WHEN: Saturday 9th October, 11am – 2pm

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.
