Expanded clay pellets and pipes
Next the grow beds were filled with expanded clay pellets and pipes were installed to bring the water from the fish tanks to the grow beds. This pipe was fitted with adjustable taps that can help equalize the flow of water to the beds. The water exiting the grow beds gravity feeds to a sump at the back of the shed.

Hi! I am a newbie. I really like your setup and would love to some day have a setup on that scale but for now I just have a single half barrel setup and am having problems with my bell siphon draining... Would you be able to offer me some assistance? It will initiate draining but won't drain all the water. It stops with 5 inches of water left in the barrel. Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong? I have an elbow at the end of my downspout to control back pressure. Could this be part of my problem? Thanks in advance for any help you may provide. :) Thanks! Happy aquaponic-ing
