as posted in the other system thread, we are doing some long overdue maintenance

the bath tubs for this system lived on top of the secondary sump tank. All three ibcs have slumped over the years. This has led to the drains not matching their holes in the tank :(

we decided to take all the tanks out and put a slab in underneath to avoid future slumping

this is the process

No.. any further "slumping" would more rightfully be called "toppling"... :mrgreen:

okay, work on this system is essentially complete. the fish will go back in when the clay dust settles a bit, and the planting will probably happen this afternoon.

10 bags of canna clay balls went in this morning.
