Hello everyone im new to this forum and looking for some input..
Im looking to build a very large system. Here is where im at..
1-The inground fish tank will be 80 ft. long x 4 ft. wide x 8 ft. deep..=2560 cu ft. = 19,123.2 gal.

The above si a pic of growing powers system. There system is the same design i want to use with a few tweaks.
As you see in the pic. the fish holding tank is inground just like the setup im going to do. He also has 2 grow beds on top of his fish tank. I dont want to use this setup because if you notice the first grow bed closest to the inground fish tank has lights mounted above it to get light to it because of the second bed on top of it.
Here is my question..
Could this system with the inground fish tank be used with one bed on top of it only and 2 beds offset to each side allowing the sunlight to reach all the beds without using lights? ( total 3 beds)
Or would you need to have 3 inground fish holding tanks for each of the 3 beds (individually)?
The grow beds would be 80 long x 4 ft. wide by 1 ft. to 1.5 ft. deep? ( is the bed depth ok?)
each bed would have an inlet at the top of bed with water pumped into it and the bed would have a slight slope to it allowing the water to run down to the other end then drained. ( same setup in the pic. and very successful)
at the end each bed would seperately drain back into the fish tank and the process runs again and again..
Thanks
