<p>Started moving water 3/14/13 so I thought I'd start a system thread. Listing specs first in case I have questions along the way.<br/> <br/> CHIFT PIGB DWC<br/> 2 IBC FTs (2500 liters)<br/> Swirl Filter Barrel (200 liter)<br/> Biofilter Barrel (200 liter)<br/> 700 GPH Water pump @ 4' head<br/> 40 LPM Air pump with 2 large air stones<br/> 3" plumbing between tanks and filters<br/> 2" to growbeds<br/> 1" Pump to FT<br/> Total 90 degree elbows: 2<br/> <br/> Completed 3/14/2013 and pumping water to a pretend GB. Not cycling until temps go up a bit. Adjusting kh and ph only.<br/> <br/> Grow bed 9' x 18' @ 14" water level<br/> 8 4x4x2 rafts @ 288 2" holes<br/> 1575 Liters<br/> Greenhouse grow area foot print 20'x26'<br/> FTs are off to the side of this area.<br/> <br/> The dimensions of the GB are based on some 3D steel panels I have. They are 9' x 20" and 2" thick and come pre-insulated. I will back fill 4" under my tarp leaving 2" gap at the top leaving a 14" water level. The rafts will leave a 2 foot area on the return end for the pump compartment. I should have room for some smaller rafts to fill in the gaps.<br/> <br/> The greenhouse panels should be finished in the next day or 2 and I can then put the GB together.</p>
