At 8:26pm on December 1, 2013, Ron said…: I started my morning with a cup of coffee, and a couple ham and egg sandwiches, thanks to my wife... Then set out to unload and begin this aquaponics venture. I cut my IBC tanks, using the top approximate 12" for the 2 growbeds, and then what was left of the bottom of 1 for my fish tank, and the bottom of the other for my sump tank. I then realized that i thought the sump tank was too tall, and cut it a little shorter. Then, I fastened the plastic, with small stainless screws to the existing brackets. I then began to level my projected area, with a shovel... I hate digging, maybe thats why I am excited about aquaponics, lol, and closed the day with kinda a dry run of water in the sump, and the pump running to the other tank, just to make sure nothing leaked before i actually started the plumbing part, as that would suck to get it all set up, and find out 1 of the valves leaked.
