Have you still got the dolly for making the openings?

Barbie or Ken

Trying to figure out if I can run the new beds inline with the old ones.

The tank is 1500L and has approx 800L of grow bed, if I hook up the next lot it will be 1800L of beds.

If I tee at the point above I can run the water to the other beds, Just trying to work out if I should make the water into a closed loop and join it at the far end of the system or just run the line and cap at the end of the growbeds?

make it a loop gnash - equalizes the water flow to both ends.

I could also add another pump and have the GB's watered alternatively, this would save too much water coming out of the fish tank at any one time and give a lot more circulation.

Yeah but the fish tank is 1500L and GB's will come to 1800L

Not when they are full of rocks you dill

yeah but none the less it's alot of water displaced from the fish tank ??

And yeh I'll accept the dill factor

nothing wrong with a dill pickle

Only 450 liters Gnash, just keep your tank topped up.

Nothing wrong with a pickled Dill either

Well not too much happening atm, fish are always hungry and getting fat , the veggies are doing well with heads formed on the caullies and hearts in the red cabbage.

I think there might be something wrong with my digital water temp meter though

some pic's

This pic doesn't do them justice, the net they are in is 30x15cm just to give an idea
