How much GB area and volume do you have?

Hi,
Thanks for the mail.
My grow bed I have made using IBC tank, the surface area for the plant to grow is (1.2M x 1.2M) and the volume of the pebbles in each grow bed in 200 Liters , like this I would like to introduce 3 of the grow bed.
We will be following the CHOP system
One Fish tank of 1000 Liters
three grow bed (each of 200 liters of pebbles, grow area =1.2 m2
One Sump (700 litres)
Thanks
Joseph John

That works out at only about 14cm deep pebbles- ideally you'd have about twice that depth.

As it is with 3 of those GBs, it will probably safely support about 20 fish maximum.
