Good luck!!

Thanks for the brain food!

Looks promising. One thing that these chlorinators don't discuss is dissipation. What happens to the chlorine? where does it go? it just cant neutralize it in the same water. There has to be dissipation.so some other chemical is making it expel out of the water. Just a curious thought.

either way, that water sux. Maybe a rainwater system......hmmm...methinks I can make one on the cheap.

Well been back from a couple of months Hiatus. I was doing this to mimic what people did in the depression days. you know, very little money, hardly a drop of electricity, only using stuff around the house. Well it did work for some time. The problem was the city water was highly chlorinated...

Quote: On the menu for next year at the funny farm: Barrel-ponics (already sketched and planning) Solar power start rain water collection system ( already sketched out)

Quote: True. Aloss of power will kill the whole system. Thats why next year Im going all out to make Barrel ponics but be solar powered. A chest freezer? good idea. I wanted to actually SEE if this was feaseable and not some hoax before venturing on diffrent ideas. It is feaseable. The...

Well its been 7 months now with catfish in a barrel and here is the results: we had 40 catfish to begin...left with 3 cursed city of rock hill overclorinated their water and it killed off all but 3 when it happened in june. These three will be my starter fish next year.It seems I have two...

Quote: Thank you FarmerRob, I did happen to read this article before.And thank you on your advice. Since being held back for some time,I will invest on a 60 gallon airpump,but on the other hand it gives me more time to make my new pallet shed and stick it out there,and by doing that, I will...

For everyone: This "Raising catfish in a barrel" is a test and trial for me. I WANT TO AND WILL DO IT. I accept the pittfalls and responsibility since I am doing it and its my money invoved. I dont have to clarify this since I am my own person,I can do what I want. If I fail, I blame myself and...

Quote: As someone mentioned plants will need light, BTW what kind of plants are you planning to grow? Adding CO2 with the stocking levels you plan may cause an algae bloom which will require more water turnover. You will also need supplemental air, the depth of the 55 gallon drum will...

Update: Oxygen levels are great! no bad water at all! The drip system is good at 2.1 gph.With the drip system going 24/7 and the water breaking the surface to make oxygen I will have a 100% clean and oxygenized tank every day. Co2 system is going good to.Aquatic plants are comming,and so are...

Quote: Keeping CO2 in solution below 30 ppm is typicly safe and it is hard to get CO2 higher than 7-10ppm with the yeast system so I feel safe.However the catfish are not pets,they are food.FOOD FOOD FOOD NOT PETS. The clorine will dissapate when I use my drip system for 100% refill and clean...

ok here it goes: First question knjinnm: I will be growing fresh water aquatic plants in there as well to MAKE oxygen for the catfish.I know catfish are omnivours,Im aware of that and am prepared for loss.Everything is trial and error,but that dont scare me.We try,we fail or suceed,we grow and...

Im adding same size fish,not adding any new fish til these are all harvested. Here is my youtube of it w/o catfish in it: Its 9;37 pm and I already know how to make a homemade co2 pump. New film will be on Sunday with pump.

Quote: Got that Stuff. Everyone wait til sat or sunday eve for pics.It will amaze you. My redwoyms and mealwoyms are housed in my lab/bathroom inthe back of the house. The catfish will occupy that space. We havent rebuilt that room yet,but If its any decision,I dont want to lose my lab to DW...
