Hello there

I started a system in October last year, someone gave me a few barrels of which the intention was to grow vegies in the dirt.....

Well I cut up a barrel stood back with a glass of cider and BANG something clicked in my head and I remembered a conversation I had regarding Aquaponics.

It has now taken over my life....

I might add another grow bed to this one but that is about it.
Planning a separate system elsewhere in the garden probably IBC's

Well what do you think can you see any issues.
Paul

Just added the extra grow bed and sump tank.
I have played around with a few different poly sizes mostly to see what would happen 15mm Bell siphon to new sump and 25mm slo from new sump to old.

There are a few things i am unsure about but looking at other posts the new water should cycle itself pretty quickly????
And I am relying on the movement of water for aeration, would anyone add any more?
