<p>I've been using the swirl filter, but I'm starting to think that the radial flow my be a better filter. Mechanical to hard and stinky to clean, so i'm about to try a birdman sand filter. </p>

<p> Well, it's time to get out of the 'backyard' and move to 'The Farm'. We found a defunct green house just out side of town. It hasn't been used since the hirricanes blew through central FL ( '03 ? ) It's 70 ft x 165 feet...</p>

<p> It will be a trough system. It will have swirl filters for solids seperation and 3 - 4 ft x 8 ft media beds as part of the filtering…</p>

<p>As you can see, we have a lot of clean up to do. We are starting in one 1/4 of the green house. Once we have the fish tanks (IBC's) , the filters and the first of the rafts started ( so we can start the water cycling) ...we will build more troughs in the second 1/4 and tie them into the others.</p>

<p>Here, is the start of the media beds....lots of blocks to hold them up, more then enough. I'm more concerned with them settling.</p>

<p>The 2x4's are PT, so is the 3/4 ply. The sides will be made from corral boards. The ply and corral boards are being coated with the white rubber mobile home roof coating, for a little extra protection. The beds will be lined with20 mm dura-skrim.</p>

<p>We will be covering the arch's with 50% alumi-net. The sides and ends will be screen.</p>
<p>Once the 1st half is done, we should have about 540 ft of troughs (4 feet wide) plus the 24 feet of media beds (also 4 feet wide)</p>

<p>I'll post more, as we get stuff built and installed.....<a style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></a></p>
