The sump and rafts are blue water.<br />The dirty fish water overflows from the fish tanks into the media beds (brown pipe)<br />Then the filtered water drips into the sump and this clean water is passed through the rafts and back to the sump using a very small 18W pump.<br />It's important to keep the raft water very clean because sludge can accumulate on the root hairs preventing oxygen uptake by the roots. <br />When you lift the roots out of a raft they should be white not brown. <br /><br />An aquaponic valve will sequence the flow from one outlet to the next. This allows you to direct the overflow from the fish tank to one media bed at a time. This type of valve is used when the sump tank is too small to handle the water from all the media beds. I prefer to make keep it simple and make the sump larger.<br />http://www.aquaponiclynx.com/products/aquaponic-systems-and-components/plumbing-and-valves/aquaponics-indexing-valves Robert Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09214258717538241014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423285858374433011.post-20221527716879608962012-10-28T11:24:15.220-07:002012-10-28T11:24:15.220-07:00Nice system design Bob!
