Welcome to the forum polar :thumbright:

If you haven't looked at the IBC of Aquaponics that's where I would start. It's a freebie from BYAP and you may not need anything else. As far as filtration info :dontknow: . Most systems here probably don't need anything but the grow beds. It might be easier if you describe what you're trying to do in more detail.

Thanks Scotty
I have downloaded the IBC OF aquaponics & have looked at it from start to finish & got lots of ideas


So far it is in the thought process. I have gathered 2 IBC 2 blue 200 lt drums 2 sumps with lids 250 lt ,lots of black polly from 25 to75 ml
Plus other bits and pieces.
I intend to pump from the sump to the IBC fish tank, go through a blue swirl filter and flood the 2 IBc and 2 half blue drum beds on a 1hour cycle, 15 minutes flood then drain
The idea of the swirl filter is I don't like the idea of cleaning beds after a time. I read about bio filters and don't know anything about them. If you can help that would be appreciated.
I intend to grow lettuce cabbage, Colley flowers, carrots, beat root a couple of fruit trees.
Ps nice horse

I just read Ryans back porch Florida system and know how a bio filter works now.

Thanks Ryan, pretty impressive system.
