Ok, so if you were starting out what depth would be ideal. I have someone who will make up some bases for me to do some wicking beds and he wants an exact height. What height should I tell him? Sorry, I know the info is all here but my phone doesn't do a good search. All responses greatly appreciated. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk |

So can you use your wicking beds with water from the AP system, it seems they are mostly topped up with tap water? |
