Grow bed and the siphon tube.

[Gerard Habib]

I have been offered these grew beds and wanted to know if they can work for an aquaponic system and can the drain pipe be set up to accomodate a siphon.

Grow bed details
Sheet Galvanised metal bent and welded to create a 2.5m long bed 0.5m wide with the shallowest part 0.2m deep and the deepest is about 0.3m deep, the base is angled like an A frame. the drain pipe is 2.2m long 3/4" galvanised pipe with the end in the trough sealed closed, there are 6mm holes drilled in the pipe ever 0.1m this pipe runs almost the entire length of this trough.

Please assist me with this information.

I intend to supply water to this grow bed and others from a 2500l (2.5m3) portable pond which I use for my Koi QT if it works I may consider building a more permanent facility but for now going to work with this set up.
