It is getting to be a very long post. Glad you enjoyed the project hopefully others will try Aquaponics.

Since I am going to use the 12 volt pump I would have enough pump head to mount the fan and heat exchanger up in the rafters. That would make it simpler.
Do you think PEX pipe would work for the closed loop between the heat exchanger and the SS coil?




I just ordered a big roll DURA-SKRIMŽ R20WW Liner. It is with and 20mills thick.
It is organic farming approved and works well for deep water culture.
I will line my back bed with this.
