Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Is a good idea, but won't the little holes block up with fish poo over time?

You used it in your ST food&fish but I assume that is a clean water tank, have you tried it in a FT where it had to raise solids?

Na if you look at my thread the sump is a dirty water sump
sump bottom is as clean as

ok i'll stick my dumb head up and ask what is a SLO

"solids lifting overflow"....

You'll find a list of commonly used acronyms here... http://backyardaquaponics.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=1275

thanks rup

slo is not on the list but i printed it off and rote it in

Take all of about three seconds to remove so if I needed to maintain it it will be easy.

With fingerlings in there 8mm holes are about the max I would want ATM

Iv put heaps more holes in it now in the end and all the way around keeping things very clean even after adding 200lt of blue metal in a new bed that I only rinsed once the tank was dirty for about 24h now is crystal again!

Prob the whirlpool as well helping pull fines out if the tank.

As clean as a baby's bottom...?

Your thread is immense food&fish, I look at a little of it everyday slowly but surely I will read through all of it, twice!

You'll need a packed lunch and a water bag to get through that thread

Sadley theres a lot of hyjacking in there we all do it so you take the good with the bad
