it's one hell of a system, but as I figure your FT overflows to ST via "filter" then pumped to NFT "water fall" to GB then raft then FT.

Would it be better to flow from FT to GB then flow filtered water to NFT and raft then ST and pump back to FT and delete the "filter"?

hehe :D . I know.. it's a bit complicated, but is what I want, it's like an experiment, to test all systems in a small space. And I think, is the best way to optimize the small space that I have.

That's the flow of the system, I use "filter" word as solid removal, small sand filter, and mineralitzation (I will put some different rocks), this way, in every cicle, 35% of the total water will pass ( so if I make 3 or 4 cycles in one hour, every hour all water in system will pass throw solid removal ), but I think it's good because 10% will enter to "filter" when water pumps to GB, and the rest (25%) will come when GB are drained. So the flow is more constant. And maybe with this system is more clean. I don't know.. I'm newbie, for this reason I'm asking about... hehe

aero will only work if your water is filtered really really well.

Hi!! This last months I've been working with the greenhouse. It has been a nice and hard job, but I'm happy with final result. Hope you like it too!

Next step, aquaponics working!!! :D

I would like to share with you some images of greenhouse building.

Wow! Aesthetically phenomenal. It is only a matter of time before that really big blue fish tank beside the greenhouse gets involved.

Beautiful structure and great looking setup. Seeing such widely spaced arches and supports has me a little concerned though.

Really cute puppy - :thumbright:

The archs aren't supporting many weight. The weight of the roof is supported by 3 Stainless steel rails, and practicaly all weight rests on the tips, so the wooden supports. I was a little scared about that too. But I'm bit relaxed after seen strong winds hitting structure, and greenhouse not even noticed that.
