Gday freoboy, just wondering what size pump(s) you are running this system on. At the start of the thread you mentioned a 1500l hr pump but you also spoke of a fingerling trout stuck in your other pump, how are they being ran, one for circulation and one for pumping into the grow beds?
Cheers.
Simon

to the small bed is a 1500L/hr pump, @1m head so probably only pumping 100ishL

to the big bed is a 300LPH pump, @ 1.2m head so probably about 1500 LPH :)

also got 3 ABFs runnign on a 90L/min air pump

We put 80 in the family system...

Actually I need to ask you a couple of questions about your system FB... Might send you a PM, I was trying to write the description of your IBC system but you have that many addons it was getting a little difficult to work it all out...
