Super looking system there. You changed your mind to aquaponics? Have you got fish yet? What kind?

Nice, clean and neat. The "upper" sump layout is interesting. Is that a hydroponics element you just incorporated? I like the duckweed looking plant floating in the FT. Does your pump operate by timer? As I see no float switch, maybe runs constantly? Is tilapia reproduction a concern?

the upper sump is used as a extra filter before water returns to the ft,duckweed or water hyacinth will polish returning water.pump run 15min on 15 off for now.
