ooohhh same as mine, does that mean I can have two growbeds instead of 1 when I set it up?

Busy making the Jarrah stand for the first growbed right now

faye

You sure can have two grow beds off a 1500 litre tank Lloyd. :grin:

lloyddavis

awesome. Expect to see me in the shop for a second grow bed and some media in the coming weeks :headbang:

faye

You will be able to double your fish numbers too Lloyd. :grin:

Faye, can a johnny come lately ask a couple of questions about your "kit"?

How do you run the GB's? F&D or CF?

Size of your GBs and size of discharge pipes?

Seems you are very comfortable putting a drain in a corner. Do you slope the GB to that corner?

Thanks,

faye

Hi Bob, you sure can ask. Growbeds are usually flood and drain, 15 mins on 45 mins off. No slope on the growbed as water turns over hourly and gravity drains though 40mm pipe back to the fish tank.

faye

Forgot to say growbeds hold 5oo litres of media, usually expanded clay.
