    I've been thinking about the 100x4x1 ft troughs. Do you think it would be wise to make out of concrete like the fish tanks are? I think this could be the cheapest option for me.

    You can make them out of concrete, sure why not.

    Are those dimensions 100 feet long X 4 feet tall X 1 foot wide? If so, I don't think the GB needs to be a whole 4 feet using floating raft (deep water culture) for the plants, and 1 foot wide seems like a waste of cement... oh unless you mean 4 foot wide by 1 foot tall, that sounds right oops...

    In either case, make your GB inner dimensions a little wider than the Styrofoam unless it's not pre-cut. This will save you the hassle of shaving off an inch or 2 just to make it fit.

    cvs04, any updates?

    I am in the process of closing on some land, and I am running short on time to finalize a design. So, I wanted to see how you ended up building it? I am trying to minimize the number of water pumps I am using... ideally, I would like to only have 1.
