Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I completed my system today and caught some local bream to "test the waters" and they are getting whipped around my FT. I'm afraid there is just too much circulation. Most of them are dead and expecting all of them to be dead by morning. Any suggestions?

You can restrict the flow of your pump with a ball valve (for PVC), or some type of clamp or valve (if using flexible tubing).
Or tee and divert some flow back to your sump.

The other problem with having too much flow/not enough restriction on a pump is the current can end up too high and damage the pump.

Do this "tee and divert some flow back to your sump."

OR T and divert excess into a spray bar in FT
