<p>I've been looking for a quick way to filter rainwater so I can add it too my system, so I've been mulling over the idea of building a bio-filter out of activated charcoal....does anybody know any good sources for activated charcoal?</p>

<p>I asked this question in the live chat section, but never got to see who answered because the conversation was pushed off of the board by the time I checked it again. So I'll ask it again :)</p>
<p>Should I filter rainwater before adding it to my system? Just had a heavy rainstorm and it filled up all our barrels and then some.</p>

<p> I want to build a NFT system and im wondering if there is any health safety issues with using vinyl rain gutters?</p>
<p> I looked at put together setups and the channels or the systems are to expensive or not exactly what i want.</p>

<p>I'm in the process of setting up my first system here in south Florida and am seeing a problem already. This time of year we get rains that regularly (often on a daily basis) overflow my pool and flood the surrounding area with 2+ inches of water before they're done (all within a very short period of time.) I plan to partially cover my fish tank (150 gal) but I see a big problem with the grow beds over-filling everything and, thus, the FT. Am I anticipating a problem that really won't be? Or…</p>

Or is there something I can do in this initial setup phase that will take care of this?</p>
<p>I hadn't planned on using a sump tank, but is this something I may have to do (or take the chances of fish flowing from the FT into my pool?!) My initial setup is(was) going to look like this: 150 gallon FT with 2 (50 gal) grow beds (I'm planning to either add a 3rd 50gal GB later or NFTs or a DWC). I'd planned a timed F&D with the pump in the FT going directly to the GBs and then back.</p>
<p><br/>Any advice would be very welcome! Thank you. =Paula</p> Open air or shelter?tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-02-19:4778851:Topic:2950972012-02-19T14:39:55.001ZJohn E Windsorhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/JohnEWindsor
<p>I have my 1st IBC and I have done some research. I am excited about aquaponics and anxious to get started. So many questions??</p>
<p>My concern this morning is do I start my system in the open air or do I need some sort of shelter? We live in central Florida where the temps are not really cold, but we normally get our share of rain. Any suggestions?</p>
