Hi from Adelaide,
I've been an avid reader for a year & figured it's about time to make it official.
I have a two ft four grow bed Ibc set up. Been running for a year.
Currently have 15 trout & 50 sp fingerlings.
3000ltr per hour at 2m height pump in sump. Feeding two Ibc ft through 32mm. Ft gravity feed through 90mm slo reduced to 40mm at gb. Then all returns to sump.
Have just changed to cf & have one floating raft. Great lettuce in the raft.
Next move is to change the gravity feed from the ft & try & lose some angles & reduce the inlet size to 20mm at the gb.

:wave: ... hi to you..

That system is lookin pretty good, but I am uncertain as to where the sump is

Good job for a first attempt, and one that likely won't need.too much change... :cheers:

Hi BuiDoi,
I have two St under each pair of GB. One overflows into the other.
After upsizing inflow to 32mm, I am now having a nightmare with balancing the levels in ft. I have ball valves on each ft & GB. Also can divert extra flow into St. I'm finding a 1mm adjustment on any valve throws the whole system out.
Thinking of changing to a chop 2 at the weekend.
