OPTION 1: REPLACE GB - My current GB has a volume of 65L and planting area of 670mm x 670mm = 44.89sqm replacing the original GB with the 2 tubs will give me 94L and a planting area of 560mm x 380mm x 2 = 21.28sqm x 2 = 42.56sqm of planting area.

GB volume(original): 65L
GB volume(modified): 96L (+47%)

GB area(original): 44.89sqm
GB area(modified):42.56sqm (-5%)

ST volume(original): 48L
ST volume(modified): 48L (+/- 0%)

FT volume(original): 48L
FT volume(modified): 48L (+/- 0%)

FT:GB volume ratio(original): 1:1.4
FT:GB volume ratio(modified): 1:2.0
****************************************************************************

OPTION 2: ADD ONE GB, ONE ST - I add one tub as a second GB, and the other as a second ST.

GB volume(original): 65L
GB volume(modified): 113L (+74%)

GB area(original): 44.89sqm
GB area(modified):66.17sqm (+47%)

ST volume(original): 48L
ST volume(modified): 84L (+100%)

FT volume(original): 48L
FT volume(modified): 48L (+/- 0%)

FT:GB volume ratio(original): 1:1.4
FT:GB volume ratio(modified): 1:3.4
****************************************************************************

I think I prefer Option 2 :D

Heya Noddy, how about option 4,
Leave system as it is and get an ibc and start the standard 2nd system.
