Use to live on Kennebunk Road, Alfred, Moved to Waterboro for some land. System has a 100 gal fish tank with 2 additional tanks acting as sumps. One is the main sump that pumps back into the fish, the other is under the grow beds (4-50 gal tanks with crushed stone). Lettuce growing like weeds in one, waiting for the power to get the other three up and lit. More later....interested in seeing your set-up if possible. John McCaw
