Hio all
The time have now come to put pen to paper and do the design of my system i'm going to build on the farm i have a couple of questions to ask i know it was covered somewhere on this forum but i thought that it could be nice to have all or most of the answers under my topic so i could get to your replies and suggestions without any searching
Q1 We are going to use 4 4500l fish tanks so do i connect them to each other so i can keep a constant water height in all the tank's?
Q2 I want to implement flood and drain media beds as well as deep water culture i was thinking of connecting them in series but the problem will be that their will be no water flowing into the dwc beds while my media beds fills up do you guys see this as a major problem ?
Q3 or Should i have a separate supply line to the DWC beds passing trough a swirlfilter to get rid of the solids before it reaches the DWC tank ?
My plan was to use the growbeds for what they were intended for to get rid of the solids but i need to know what the waterflow should be in the DWC beds to ensure oxygen supply to the plants there, the mediabeds will be 6m long by 1.2m wide i will be running 3 of them next to each other followed by 3 DWC beds of the same size , as we are going to use solar and wind generators to supply the power i can only use one pump to get the water from the sump back to the fishtanks .
