My first system.
I made the video for my own historical purposes, but figured I would post it here.
Since the design came from many sites and posters, maybe someone can use it for their own design ideas as well.
The medium is silica rock.
The reservoir holds 9 gallons.
The
pump is a 256GPH and the airstone is connected to a small aquarium pump.
The only problem I see at this point is the tray does not completely drain. The container is built with a recessed 1" edge around the bottom perimeter that holds about 1/8 inch
nutrient that will not drain. I will monitor this to see if it becomes an issue.
It was a good project and I think it is practical. I will find out over the next few weeks!!
