preparing to install system as follows: Anyone have suggestions for improving or potential problems? A lot easier to fix now! Thanks! 1- 200 gallon sump, 1 -225 gallon FT, appx 250 cu ft GB, a radial flow filter at FT, a Little Giant - F20-2700 - Wet Rotor Pond Pump - 2772 GPH, 1 " piping with ball valves to adjust, bell siphons in GB's, 4-5 vertical towers(zip type) with a future 32 sq ft. FRS? Thinking of CHOP system. Starting with 40 tilapia, various sizes, and a few guppies/mosquito fish in sump. Any suggestion or feedback would be appreciated for this first timer. greenhouse is almost done and shade cloth is ordered. that pump is 147watt consumption and less if gated down, 2 year warranty. Plan on adding aeration as well. Am I missing anything? volcanic rock for media, may have 1 bed with hydroton for comparison. |
