mbrown how is the progress on your set up it's cycled by now?

Everything seems to be doing very well today. I am having an issue with my circulation pump, not the one for my grow beds, I use a 1400 gph fish tank pump to just create a current in my tank and add to the aeration. It seems to be slowing down, I cleaned it but no change. It is only about 3 weeks old thought it might last longer. I will have to figure something else out. My plants have turned green again, they look really good. Thanks to all of you for the support.

You may alraedy have a little bio slime growing on the walls of your pipes...or maybe a pice of plant or small fish got blown into your pipe (?)

OUICK...start a post in 'backyard systems' and share some pictures...JCO is holding his breath, his eyes are bulging, and he's turning funny colors...

I actually had a fish in a pipe last week, but only for a day. I added screens to all my outlets so that don't happen again.
