<p>After i cut a barrel/tote i load them in the pickup and run on down to the dollar car wash and give them a really good going over, i use dawn dish detergent rather than their soaps, which are "optimized" for cleaning car finishes.</p>

<p>Good advice. Any water based chems are far easier to wash out than say petroleum based. Veg oil is certainly non toxic but can be a bear to wash out if they were sitting for long. However the bacteria will eat them fairly quick once placed in the system. Bleach will do wonders as well but rinse well as it also is top of the heap for killing all kinds of bacteria. Both good and bad.</p>

<p>OK so besides the barrelponics flapper valve system bell siphons seem to have a lot of potential. Been thinking that fewer moving parts is better... Is anyone using IBCc as a fish tank then setting up a bell siphon to run the flood/drain cycle? Use the tote lid as the outlet, setting the siphon over that. I realize that there is a limit to how high the siphon tube can be above the bottom but 1/3 to 1/2 isn;t out of the question making over 120 gallons available for the flush cycle. Been…</p>

<p>I have an almost unlimited supply of totes and barrels from work so trial and error isn't out of the question for building proof-of-concept systems....</p>

<p>I am sure that people are getting tired of hearing this but...here we go again. I am in the process (almost completed) of building a 16-unit IBC Flood and drain system in a barn to be heated this winter. I do have a few pics of this system in progress on my picture page, if you are interested in seeing what I'm up to.</p>
