Hey J.T. Your work continues to impress.

What was the reasoning behind the new, vertically challenged bed design...
or is it low slung, more aerodynamic? (was thinking in that Jackie Stewart eeerodynamic voice...
I know, randomness..)

Looks great JT. I like the trellis and the plants are kicking along nicely.

I'm thinking of building an outdoor tank, do you think that bed design would work for a fish tank?

Probably 4 X 7 by 2 or 2 1/2 feet deep but might like as much as 3 Ft of depth. Thinking about connecting up an inline bucket garden or two with a new setup but still hashing it out. Thanks.

2 to 2 1/2' deep should not be a problem.. but if you go higher you may need a little more support
