Post subject:  A new 5 bed system installation

We almost finished another installation of a 5 bed system today. Things went reasonably smoothly though we did have to juggle things a little to make it fit into the space we had. Because of the pouring rain we had yesterday afternoon we didn't get the truck fully loaded, so we we had to finish loading this morning and didn't get on site till about 10. I'd underestimated the 32mm elbows so we needed a quick trip to the shop as well.

But things went reasonably well.. There's still a bit that I have to go and finish off tomorrow morning, the last bit of the main irrigation pipe, and the drain piping. Plus seeding the beds with bacteria, and stocking with a few goldfish to get the system going before the water heats up and they can stock it with Barra fingerlings.

Are you using your pumps EB?

Is the top of the sump tank lower than the bottom of the grow beds?
