Hey guys

Just like to say so far I'm thouroughly enjoying flcking through this forum seeing the works of like minded people!

I have recently set up my own CHIFT PIST System with a 1000L ibc as the fish tank and a 500L (half ibc) sump tank.
300L ibc grow bed is set up to gravity drain from fish tank overflow and still thinking about expansion. I have two clam shell kiddy splash pools approx 100-150L at a guess(know the ones?) and just scored 6 fiberglass moulds from the life raft carriers they have on large ships (probably about 150L-200L each) see pics if i work out how to upload.

So got decisions on how i want to go from here though i believe the limiting factor is going to be the sump tank being only 500L, I don't have alot of water to play with as I am using flood and drain with stand pipes for simplicity.

I also am yet to get my trout, as the system has just been cycling for a few weeks (havn't had water testing equipment, hopefully have it on monday!). Just have two little lonely goldfish in there in the moment and been dosing the tank with about a cap of seaweed extract every few days.

Feel free to comment improvements etc if you like.
I'll try upload a pic or two when i figure out how.

Welcome
