It is 32 degrees C here today, and I had to take a few breaks to cool off.

This is my story...

First, ran the system for awhile, then started emptying out the water.

I removed the right tub after emptying it about 2/3 of gravel. Moved the blocks out of the way to rotate tub 90 degrees.

I know there is an aquaponics system around here somewhere...

I call this one "akimbo".

Tidied up. This is the new rectangular tub in front. Room for towers here and there I think.

Imagine this sunken two block into the ground and it wouldn't look so ridiculous! :roll: :wink:

I was surprised to see 32C :shock:

We'll convert you yet :)

Sound of the water is soothing, isnt it? (i find that most women disagree for some reason)

Nice job.

I agree - i love working in my shade house/nursery as the sound of the water in my ears, and my fingers in the dirt just seems to soak up my stresses!

Hi EB:
It was bigger. I think the main pump is 1/3 HP and the sump pump was 1/2 HP.
