<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am currently building an aquaponics system. In my design I have 4 IBC's of 1000 liter (= 264 US gallon). Three of which will be a fish tank and one of them will be a sump tank. I plan to use rainbow trout. There are 9 ebb and flow growbeds involved, 4 of which are big and 5 are small.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am currently building an aquaponics system. In my design I have 4 IBC's of 1000 liter (= 264 US gallon). Three of which will be a fish tank and one of them will be a sump tank. I plan to use rainbow trout. There are 9 ebb and flow growbeds involved, 4 of which are big and 5 are small.</p>

<p>That was my original plan. But now I consider to use all four tanks for fish tank. So there will be no sump tank. This means that the water level in the fish tanks can fluctuate. The maximal depth in the fish tanks will be approximately 900 mm (= 35''). In the worst case, when all 9 growbeds are fully filled with water, the water level will drop approximately 200 mm (=8"). I know that some fish don't like fluctuating water levels, but since rainbow trout naturally lives in fresh water streams, I can imagine that there the water level won't be constant as well and that therefore the rainbow trout won't bother my tidal fish tanks.</p>
<p></p>
<p>But he, I am only guessing. Does any of you have any ideas or suggestions on this?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
