+3, Looks like a really nice spot.

How have you gone with gunk buildup at the bottom of the tanks?

Hi privatteer
the system flow is from the bottom of the tanks which feeds the gunk into the grow beds.

Hi Privatteer
I did not explain the system very well :)
There are 8 GBs the first 4 are fed from Tank 1 then it feeds into the sump.
The second 4 GBsare fed from tank 2 then into the sump.
From the sump it is pumped up to Tank 1.
The pump delivers app 6000lt HR
From tank 1 i control the amount of water into the first 4 GB the surplus goes over the waterfall into Tank 2.
From Tank 2 i control the amount of water into the second 4 GBs.
The surplus over second waterfall into the sump.
The system is continuous flow the GBs are gravity fed.
This morning I managed to catch one of the smaller trout in the sump tank here is a
photo of him 1.5 Kl
