    Re: Im building a 144 sq ft grow bed system.

    Wow yesterday was pretty exciting. We put almost 79 fish into the system. The drain pipe at the bottom of the fish tank was completely open. we put a piece of screen on the end so the fish would get suck up. one of the fish died and got suck up against the drain pipe. well the water couldnt drain. so luckly all the grow beds would almost full and the sump tank pumped the rest of the water over the side of the fish tank. So i pulled the drain pipe out of the fish tank and drilled a bunch of holes up and down the side of it. It is doing fine now but i had to put about 60 gallons of water back into the system. I got a pretty good ab workout with those 5 gallon buckets. lol I took a pic of the collard greens and green beans. if anybody know a better way to do the bottom of the drain in the fish tank let me know. thanks
