hey matt sorry bout that my phone for some reason held all my text messages until i did a battery pull. happens when you root and mod ur phone. anyway...
you guys sure took that and ran! lol. the aquaponics part of it, the part with the fish, was a secondary goal. primary is a hydro system. consider the fish nixed if they cant produce/handle the proper amount of nutrients to grow weeds. may try it sometime, based on the color of the water that i was getting doing water changes on my heavily planted heavily populated 29 gallon freshwater...but i mainly wanted to set up a hydro system, mainly bubbleponics.
matt, it would be neither a drip or an ebb and flow. the point of bubbleponics is that the water is so aerated from the airstones that the water can be pumped continuously at full flow. i believe the water when aerated as such does slow the flow of the submerged pump regardless. its much like my c02 system that i have on the aforementioned tank. the outputs from the reactors goes directly into the intake of the filter, the impeller chops up the bubbles of c02 and consequently the flow of the filter is reduced slightly. anyway reading on bubbleponics.org or whatever it is, home of the bubbleheads, they mention the flow is reduced due to the bubbles in the tank.
my orgininal question was will the length of the tubes from the res to the plants reduce the aeration, or something...? in all the setups that stealthydro sells, which is the guy who wrote the walkthrough on bubbleponics.org the net pots are in the lid of a rubbermaid tub that serves as the res AND the structure that houses the plants pots. im wondering if i can get away with seperating the two. im betting i can. does that help explain my horrid drawing lol?
