Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm in the process of moving my entire system around after a year of use. With the use in the year did the beds have a major buildup of fish waste. I need to add a RFF into the system now. https://www.dropbox.com/s/29evt25px2jooaq/Garden.png?dl=0 What do I need to do to add the filter into the system. Right now the flow of water goes from the tank over to the bed labeled rock bed and around the corner and ending at GB1. The beds are all sharing a 4" drain back to the FT. I'm thinking about adding a 45gal trash can and making it into a RFF and then have it continue the 7 beds along the outside of the garden. What else do I need to change to get it to work properly? Right now the supply lines are 3/4" pvc, I'm guessing I need to increase the size to 1.5" PVC and keep the valves at 3/4".

Sorry about the URL to dropbox. I tried to use img to there but the picture didn't show up when I used it. If there is a better way to post a picture please let me know as I intend to place more of the garden pictures in here.

Hopefully this helps! In the full editor there is a browse box that you can use to upload your pics.

Seeing that you are moving everything around Have you thought about also adding a ST? That way you could run CHIFT PIST. And by doing so, also Add some more water to the system to help with temp, and nutrient fluctuations? The RFF(s) that you add to the system should be inline directly after the FT. If it is efficient enough the MBs should be able to nock all the rest of the suspended solids out of the water flow. Personally I would make sure my drawings were to scale. That way you could tell exactly where everything could go. You would also know how much room you left between them. Play with your designs on paper, it is much easier to erase a mistake. Than having to have to move everything around if you found a problem.
