Thanks for asking...still have a bad cold. I can't complain, I rarely get sick. When I do, I'm a big baby... .
I've been inside all week. However, yesterday I went and got a pice of EPDM liner for free. It's 16x10 ft. It does have a small cut in it. 5 inches long, maybe.
I also got about 30 wooden fence post, just over 6 ft long.
I'm thinking of putting some post in the ground, every few feet, and using some cattle panels to make a FT with the rubber liner.....aprox 3'W x 3'D x 10' L. ( aprox 670 gals) Like TC did, but not round.
I wanted the FT to be tall enough to flow into the GB that you gave me. Then use 1 or 2 of the pre-formed tanks that you gave me as the sump(s). Maybe the big one for the sump/motor....the smaller draining into the bigger one...... and grow duck weed in the smaller one (?)
I have a plastic box that is (aprox) 16x16x40" that I was going to fill with scrubbie pads to make a bio filter out of it.
I know I'll need more grow bed area, I was thinking of using some of the little plastic kiddie pools that are about 1 ft deep.
I dont know how long they'll last (?) But it would be good (cheap) for my "starter system". Even if it lasts for a season or two, it'll give me a feel for aquaponics. Besides I got them for free!
I'll have to raise them a little bit, so they will be able to drain to the sump(s)

OK, I'm going to start a new topic in Backyard systems. Time to start.....
