Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Simply Put My Bell siphon wont stop. It takes 4 minutes to fill the GB and about 2.5 minutes to get to were it should suck air and stop. However once it gets there it sucks SOME air and SLOWS but it dosent stop at all. Iv replaced the outer pipe and made diferent holes/cuts/teeth/gashes just about anything you can think if to get it working and et it just dosent stop. My system is a slightly moded version of the IBC system in the Youtube Video. Main difference is minces buried for the most part and slightly off leval.(the off leval part is simply a flaw i dont have the equipment or manpower to fix with out tearing the wgole system down)

You have to much water flowing into your grow bed. Either restrict the water flow going into the bed, or a better choice add a way to divert some of the water back to the tank.

Fixed it with some Air Tubeing to help introduce more air into the system
