Evening all
Saw guys doing aquaponics on Doomsday Preppers but wasn't to interested until I read I can do some trout. Currently winter and spring starts September so will do some goldfish and tilapia until next winter.
Bought myself an IBC and busy doing a Chift Pist hybrid. Sump (old dustbin) is under the horizontal pvc pipe stand.
3000 lph pump with 40mm pvc pipe all around. So far so good.
Bell siphon standpipe 25mm (what a mission to get 25mm anything) with 25mm-50mm reducer, 75mm bell. Busy testing second bell siphon 25mm standpipe, no reducer and 50mm bell.
Taking extra long getting it setup with a toddler assisting
Will be replacing the 90degree on the slo with a t-connector. Will reduce the top to 20/25mm and bending it back into the fish tank. This should recreate the siphon and thus increased over flow, but prevent a permanent siphon which could empty the tank.
Cheers
Francois
