Above:- A newly installed Homestead Kit in a carport.
The roof of the carport is roofing iron over the fish tank to keep direct sunlight off the fish.
The rest of the roof is clear plastic roofing sheets to allow good light onto the plants.
Later bug cloth roll up walls, or clear g
reenhouse plastic walls can be added.
A very tidy and practical installation.
Above:- Jade perch fingerlings in the nursery tank. It's hard to believe there are 103 of them in that lot. See them tightly packed into the corner. This photo was taken on 22nd Dec. They are now 90 - 100 mm long.

Hi Murray,
The carport is a double gable roof ABSCO 6x6x2.5 w41 rating. The cost at Bunnings was $2875. For more details on the carport just go to the ABSCO site at http://www.absco.com.au/ . I used about 1500 screws on the carport, most of them going into the trusses which come in pieces and need to assembled. I also used 10 sheets of Laserlite which costs $375.
I plan to use the unused metal roofing sheets on their sides as parts of the walls starting at the bottom.Just one sheet high. Then use some kind of bug proof material for the rest of the walls. I'm working it out as I go. I will need to put up some extra post at the 3 m mark, maybe coppers logs or hardwood. So still some money to spend yet.

I have attached the latest photo, This morning I put some drainage gravel on the floor with big pavers sitting over the drain pipes in case I need to get to them easily for any reason. You will also notice the black 19mm (which caused my problem with the sump pump) going into the header tank in the previous photo is no longer there. I have it clamped on to the side of the main tank until I get it changed over to the 25mm.

Regards John L F


This is the second photo of the same jade perch today (16 March) in with the larger silver perch that I got from Murray. I can't believe the rate of growth of the Jades.

As you can see I have managed to get the water clear. I just have to feed them a bit less to get the ammonia level down.

John
