<p>So today Chi and Miguel came up today to button up the Bunk Bed system. Next week we add 3/4" drain rock for the grow bed! This will be a constant flow system. Chi didn't want to mess with an auto siphon yet</p>

Looks great, Lisa. Are you considering letting the kids loose with some paint brushes and seeing what happens? Could be pretty cute, and definitely a personalized Big Family Growing System. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/>

Love the sequence, it makes it seem like the whole system went up in minutes! Are you planning on insulating the beds at all before you put in the pond liner? We have found in our climate that it helps to maintain the tank temperature. I'm not sure if that's a concern out in the warm west coast, but it does provide a little bit of cushion for the pond liner, making it less likely to tear when you go to fish out the full size fish.
