Thanks Ben will do what is your opinion on running on cf all the time i have been thinking if i kept it on cf i could add more grow beds at the moment with one grow bed if i have it on fd the water level goes down to about 4 to 500 litres in tank to look at it doesn't look much for 20 trout also with this cold weather do you run pump through the night?

i think it is 500 litre grow bed Jay

Both my systems have 1000l of gb and I run on fd 30 mins on 30 mins off. The water in the tank varies about 20cm when the pump is on. I haven't had any issue with this. I also have the option of running cf if I have water quality issues.

400-500 L is not much so perhaps you need to top up the tank a bit. Mine doesn't go down this much and I have 2 gbs.

Cold temps are no issue with trout. I run my pump all night
