Hey Jonathan your trout are going well in there new home and the water plants you gifted to me a rapidly growing too , thanks again ! Looking forward to expanding the family next year . Keep up the videos and training they are very helpful . Happy Holistic Aquaponician !!
Australia is such a nanny state that likes to restrict anything you want to do. I have such a hard time doing any hobbies as there is red tape around them and barriers to trying to make a bit of money off your hobbies too. I am sad you are being shutbdown but appreciate you to fight the good fight for the sake of other aquaponic owners. People are more concerned with over governing than letting people enjoy life
So sad for you Jonathon to have to shut your pond down!!!!! Your videos have been fantastic to watch and learn from!! We have gold, rainbow and brown trout in our pond (old swimming pool). Wish you could have come and seen it before you went home to france!!!
If only we did a better job at looking out for each other, these rules and legislations would probably not be so rigid. Unfortunately the red tape is becoming wide spread. Best of luck to you guys
I also learned in Australia that sometimes the law is too complicated for the authorities.... In Europe you can find a compromise with most authorities if there are any questionable problems. I wish you very much better times back in France. Here in the black forest in Germany is breeding time now, an we already have the little fish. Due to high water i hope the little wild trout will make it well in our little streams.
It was nice to see you again! I was just thinking lately that we didn’t get any updates, and I’m glad that you continued. Ar the same time, I’m very sorry for what happened! I hope that this will somehow motivate you even more for your new project in France! Wish you best and thank you for keeping up! 😃
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate your encouragement, and it's sentiments like yours that fuel my motivation. Sending my warmest regards and gratitude. 😃
@@AquaponicsRevolution awesome! :) I also feel gratitude for fueling a true desire to have an aquaponics systems as the one you had before! I'm looking forward to your new project! I'm guessing that we will get nice surprises! Wish you success and God bless you! :)
As a Melbournian all my life who has just been drawn to aquaponics and only just found this video - I am devastated! Good luck in the future, your vision was awesome! Still very interested to learn how to breed trout here!
Thank you for your videos. Waiting for new. Rented property is always having such kind of restrictions or missunderstandings, unless you agree upfront with the owner
Following your journey I wish you well I am working on a homestead/tourism product in st Lucia, I would love to collaborate with you on my aquaponics designs
the basis of the code is to protect others (kids, pets) that may wander into your yard and get into that body of water. In parts of the US, if its an above ground pool and there is no stairs or the stairs can be moved away - you don't need a fence.
Thank you so much for your understanding and support! It's always a bittersweet feeling to move on, but knowing that fellow aquaponists like you are cheering me on makes the journey even more rewarding. Sending greetings from across the waters. 😄
Just found your channel! Je viens de m'installer en France. Je viens des Pays Bas et nous nous installons en campagne dans le nord du Tarn (81). Desoller d'entendre que votre aventure en Australie a due se terminer. Dans quel departement aller vous vous installez? Bonne chance avec le future.
Man I really want some Goldens (and maybe some Brooks) up in NSW for my farm dams but no one seems to have them anywhere here. I'd literally have some shipped from Vic if I knew who had some and was willing to ship. But no one wants to help with that it seems. All I can get is stock standard Rainbows from a handful of suppliers.
shipping trout is always tricky... you might have better chance with eyed eggs as they travel much better. But you still need to find someone wanting to bother doing it. Much easier to offer them to pick from home. Good luck mate :)
@@AquaponicsRevolution Thanks for your input. Yeah I definitely get that having done it for several years now. Although my rainbows come from 500km away and always take a good overnight courier trip and then some hours to arrive. So getting fingerings from Vic is not consequentially any more transport time. I definitely can't see a way to deal with eggs, especially as I don't live on my farm full time or know anyone in the area who could (a local trout farm went broke years ago thanks to mismanagement). I just want to be able to stock my various waters with some extra trout varieties. Anyway I'll keep an eye for places who do breed more widely than just rainbows and speak to them. I know the guys in Macclesfield do for example.
Hi! following... i've had a pond with carp in it unfortunately the water source became les over the years. Now im trying to build a solar powered system that keeps the water moving airates and filtrates it. Is aquaponics the right choice for me or is there a more efficient system for filtering my water to replace new freshwater. Plants are not the priority at all and could potentialy be left out.
Renting with want hobbies or exotics is ultimately problematic. I had many bonsai buried outdoors to overwinter them. It was very apparent what they were and I even added blaze orange and yellow ribbons in their tops a d trunks for extra safety. The landlord didn’t like any expression of happiness or joy so while i was at work they used a dull blade in a weed eater and chopped them all to pieces. Many decades of my time. One was inherited and easily over 100yrs of age…I spent a long time on my knees just sobbing! That was the last place I rented. Swore I’d never be under another persons asinine ‘rules’ or inspections again even if I had to live in a tent or RV vehicle I can’t have hobbies and rent. :(. Check the HOA where you land they can be just as bad and often even worse.
I think the issue is not the swimming pond but the fact that you are breeding fish in it and fish you can eat and is meat and we all know that they want ban all real meat to the populations .
Vous êtes français ? Car quand je vous écoute ça ressemble à un français qui parle anglais😄😄. C est pratique du coup parce que je comprends un peu mieux
@@AquaponicsRevolution super merci j irai voir, j aimerai me lancer dans l aquaponie mais je n ai pour l instant aucune connaissance. Amicalement de France. Pas trop le mal du pays?
Australia has been a better place for us as a family than France. But may well end up back there at least for a third of the time, for the wife it's mostly about family for me its the food I miss.
Family ties often lead us to where our roots are, while the heart sometimes yearns for the flavors and comforts of familiar cuisines. Whether in Australia, France, finding that balance between family and personal joys is what matters most. Let's keep sustainability in mind though as one trip Melbourne France is 5.6T CO2. Hence I decided to never fly again and try to minimise my impact. Wishing you and your family all the best, wherever your journey takes you!
Hi I have been doing Aquaponics 4years now I live in Los Angeles and these raccoons keep eating my Channrl catfish Koi gold fish I had many 2ft catfish now all fish have been ate up by the raccoons 🦝 there very intelligent animals I had a cage around my IBC totes and they kept finding a way inside with there little hands that are strong Crazy raccoons Now I am completely covered the IBC. With wood also a I bc tote cover I made a lot of fish emulsion so the big fish weren’t wasted I’m so sad And mad at these raccoons How do you deal with this in your pond ???
Yes this is what I have decided I already have the traps as soon as this crazy Southern California rain and storms stop I’m ready to relocate them all So many beautiful fish gone :(

Thanks heaps, you 100% got it mate!
If you can afford to rent - you can buy!!!
Look into it!!!
Get your own place and stop buying someone else a house.
Bonjour
So sad for you Jonathon to have to shut your pond down!!!!! Your videos have been fantastic to watch and learn from!! We have gold, rainbow and brown trout in our pond (old swimming pool). Wish you could have come and seen it before you went home to france!!!
Thanks Andrew :) Feel free to send a video if you like, we would be glad to see your trout sanctuary!
Melbourne has become too expensive :( you will probably have a better life in central France. Australia is no longer what it was my friend.
You are probably right mate but life in Europe seem even worst from an economical perspective...
@@AquaponicsRevolution Move to like Darwin so you can grow Baramundi 😂

Thanks, I received 2 different responses from VBA with 2 different outcomes. Depending who you ask...
Sad to see it go but good luck on your journey. Can't wait to see what's next. From a fellow aquaponist from Melbourne 😄

Hey Jonathan sad to see, a question about trout. Would warmer areas such as up north in Queensland be too warm to grow trout?
Yes unfortunately Queensland is way too warm. I would recommend Barramundi :)
I would have just enclosed it with a polycarbonate sheet and frame cover, so no one could enter it.
Then it's not a pool, its a water storage tank!
.
Thanks! Not a bad idea :)

From Sydney here . As owner I still want to say Australian law just rubbish . Crime law took as well .

I’m so sad And mad at these raccoons
How do you deal with this in your pond
???
I understand your frustration. I don't have raccoons in my area but I guess I would use cage trap and relocate them.
Yes this is what I have decided I already have the traps as soon as this crazy Southern California rain and storms stop I’m ready to relocate them all
So many beautiful fish gone :(
This is why people here in the states are buying unrestricted land in rural areas
I would too :)
Don't comply.
Thanks
