Ok, so if you were starting out what depth would be ideal. I have someone who will make up some bases for me to do some wicking beds and he wants an exact height. What height should I tell him?
Sorry, I know the info is all here but my phone doesn't do a good search. All responses greatly appreciated.

So can you use your wicking beds with water from the AP system, it seems they are mostly topped up with tap water?
