Looks good. How did you like your results compared to your main system?

Unfortunately I have completely stopped all offline mineralization and incorporate it inline within my big system. I haven't converted my smaller system as yet because I wanted to test it concept first..

pic of inline MT notice the large amount of bio film..

so why the change. well offline MT wasn't very practical and was too full of too much unknown variables. so I decided to do some research on composting to understand the fundamentals of the process and with that info I try to incorporate the process to work under water.. well Google didn't have any info on composting under water so I decided to invent a way to carry about the process effective and that the idea behind the new inline MT. and these are the results.!!

Thanks... I'm not going to lie but I too was amazed at the quality of growth of the cucumber vine... normally they reach a certain length.. then develop dead spots den dry up.. I'm not even supplementing anything at the moment.. not even iron or wood ash... only adding small amounts of brown sugar into the system in the morning and evening which super charge bio floc growth... but it seems that the plants enjoy it.. I got a spinach plant that its stalk is about 1 inch in diameter... its that thick

wow very good looking growth - and that is with no solids removal - just catching all solids in the inline MT?

Do you expect to have to clean the inline MT once it gets so clogged it goes totally anaerobic?

It's looking pretty damn awesome.. Do you use a degassing tank after the online mt or are you relying on the aeration in the mt to do that?
