Hello,

"Shoutin out to all, in the aquaponics community!" The best food production system eva! Currently running DWC/Deep Flow DIY System 50 sp in an IBC draining into 6 half barrels (cut length ways) and piped together in two rows of three as the grow beds/channels, then empties in to sump (old bath) and pumped back into FT. Air pump runs in system to FT and each gb. Also have 1 yabby in one of the gbs gonna add more to all the gbs at a later date.

Welcome :D

Just a question what do you mean you have 1 yabbie in the GB? From what i understand they need water and in AP how ever you set it up the water shouldnt be able the level of the media.

Hey Boilup....

I see you've been on the forum a little while, and in that case you know the question is going to be asked... Where's the photos? :)

He's running deep water culture beds Zman, so there's no media in the beds at all, just water.

Thanx for the warm welcome yep sorry i should have said the deep flow channels (half blue barrels) but i always refer to them as gbs...sorry. I have attached a link to you tube. I hope it is a bit clearer in explaining.

Thanx again

Just watched the vid... nice....

By the way Murray didn't invent/design the "chop" method... although he did rename it to "chop"... (Gary D might dispute that... :mrgreen: )...

"Chop" was an idea that was born on this forum... and known as "Chift Pist"...

Hi John,

I stand corrected, I was a little confused about that because they are one in the same, but thank you.

Yeah a marketing move, rename something already existing, then try and take ownership of it under the new name... Relabeled because it was considered "crude and vulgar", and I guess more to the point, not great for marketing..

Long live Chift Pist ..... :headbang: Far more definative acronym.

Post subject:  Re: Hi From Bargo!
And yep "Chift Pist" came about over concerns related to using two pumps... and/or float switches... in systems with sumps...

Now Chop2.... uses two pumps... in systems with sumps... and is declared a "breakthough".....

Post subject:  Re: Hi From Bargo!
It uses 2 pumps? I didn't really like the idea when I thought there was only the one pump, just seems like a bit of a waste. A poor solution to a problem, rather than rethink things totally and come up with smart elegant solutions that provide added benefits. This patches up the initial problem but then creates other problems.

Post subject:  Re: Hi From Bargo!
Actually, correction... Chop2 still only uses the one pump... (brain fade :oops:)

But now pumps not only to the fish tank.. which overflows to the sump tank... but also to the grow bed... which also returns to the sump tank....
