Elizabeth's Aquaponic Garden Design
Hello fellow aquaponic gardeners,
I am new at aquaponics. Can anyone tell me if there is any problem with this design. I want to start with just one tank and one media grow bed, but I want to use an intrinsically expandable design that will enable me to add media and raft beds, and additional fish tanks, but with only one sump tank and one pump. This looks like it should work, but I want to be sure that I'm not missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance to anyone who looks at this design critically.
Elizabeth

As a sequencing valve normally requires an interruption of flow.... and your raft beds will require a constant flow... as do siphons....
Then I don't think a sequencing valve is either necessary... or will work...

Assuming the pipe coming from the tank will be acting as a siphon, you may have a problem with overflow if your pump ever dies.
I like how you have the media bed draining into a raft system, great use of the waters potential energy.
I don't see anything wrong with your idea, It should work as you have planned. Good luck
