<p>I USE A 15 GAL SWIRL FILTER BETWEEN THE FISH TANK AND SUMP, THIS REMOVES ALL FISH WASTE, I ALSO KEEP 5/10 YOUNG YOUNG FISH IN THE SUMP, I SYPHON THE SOLIDS FROM THE FILTER TANK EVERRY MONTH OR SO. THIS ALSO PRVENTS SOLIDS FROM BEING PUMPED INTO THE GROW BEDS WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BEDS TO TURN INTO A SEPTIC TANK.</p>

Hi Linda!<br />
<br />
I am still pretty new to all this, but am learning fast (more by trial and error then anything). I have red worm in my system, their great at gobbling up old roots and debris. I do not actively feed them to my fish but am sure that the fish are enjoying the larvae that pass thru the system.<br />
I posted to the beginners group on the filter I built....it sets between my FT and all my beds, making cleaning the solids a breeze! My page shows my system setup. It's a consistent hight one pump…

I posted to the beginners group on the filter I built....it sets between my FT and all my beds, making cleaning the solids a breeze! My page shows my system setup. It's a consistent hight one pump system 275 gl fish tank, which feeds to my 55 gal hybrid filter out to 1 floating bed , 3 3x3 shallow media beds and 4 2x2x12" media beds then to a 150 gal sump where the pump sends clean water back to the FT. I have tilapia as I am in Ca and the handle the heat best. I even have managed to match a breeding pair and have had 3 successful spawns = over 1500 fry. :P
