    Welcome Ian,

    Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community!  I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics.  There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to get in there and start asking questions.  Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic.

    A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Home page.  You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.  We are constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.

    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.

    I think I figured out my siphon issue, watched three flawless cycles. Only change I made was to put a flex tube under the down pipe....almost like a trap but actually down and level for a few inches and then into tank. water stays in the tube after the first cycle and can see the pressure change then off it goes.

    Also went from a reduced 1 inch to 3/4 to just a stand pipe of 1 inch with a champer on it.
