Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

So in my build i'm going to have 6-9 IBC's buried. They will be connected in sets of 2 for different things. 1 Rain water storage, 1 Sump, 1 Spare water storage, maybe another for what ever. I've been wondering how to tell how much water is in them. So i came up with this design. Using a 2" 6' PVC, a 1/2" 6' PVC & a pool floatie. Oh yea, some paint!

I think i'll only have one of these in my Rain water storage tank, so i know when i need to pump some out to the spare tank or i should conserve.

Very clever.

Now you gotta get in there and get it happening!!

p.s. you should start your own thread enuro, then you can just keep posting on the one instead of creating new threads all the time.

Well i created a few thread for thread topics. Having to wade threw 30 pages to find a topic is time consuming & makes the search function a real pain.

(i've got a system thread)

Good idea but be careful on what paint you use... You don't want to poison those fish.

I wouldn't use paint on the inside, not likely i'd use any at all. It just gives good illustration of the principle. I'll likely mark mine with gallons left.
