vlog 5 a new pump
When we extended our aquaponics system recently, we exceeded the capacity of the existing pump. As it was, we were close to its maximum flow and not doing a very good job in the extreme heat (days regularly above 40°C).
So here's our solution...a bigger pump.
This 5000 litre per hour pump s from ebay. Cost me under $60 Aud. Going too big means the pump runs inefficiently. As it is, this Biopro 5000 runs at just 45 Watts. Going to 6000 lph on most brands took us to over 100W.
Anyways, here's the unboxing, insyallation and results, call in one video.
Enjoy

I'm a bit jealous you've managed to upload to dtube. I've not had any success with that yet.

It always uploads fine, but then won't submit. I'll just stick to YouTube until they get it working a bit better. I gather a lot of people find it very off and on at the moment.

You've got to get all the fields in the basic section right. Do you use a snapshot pic? You can only use 4 tags too

Yup, yup and yup. Followed all the procedures and it all seems to go smoothly until submit.

Sometimes there's a huge delay in writing the post to the Blockchain. Some days I just give up and do it again later.

Ah, your flower looks so pretty in the NM banner.
I wish we still had our aquaponics going. What kind of fish do you have in there?
'tis a good banner. I've decided to cycle through the alternatives you sent me.
We have goldfish and catfish

Not for eating then?

Just to provide nutrients and keep the tanks clean. We tried silver Perch before but they died. After winter I'll give them another shot
