I think it has to do with the fact that the waterline of the fish tank is higher than that of the fact that the whole systems waterline is lower than that of the grow beds so naturally the water wants to flow down until the waterlines are lined up.
Hi Michael. It’s a constant flow from the pump in the sump under the grow beds to the fish tank. It then continues to gravity feed from the fish tank through the radial flow filter into the growbeds and continues to drain back into the sump where it is pumped back to the fish tank. It’s is all continuous. The pump is never cut off.
Nice systen congrats! I wonder if the pipe diameters you are using aren't a bit too small? Would go at least for 25mm for the pressured pipes and 50mm or 75mm for the drains.
Why cut the sump tank that low? Wouldn't a deeper sump allow for expansion later? Wanting to build one myself. Didn't know if the size was just to fit under the grow beds.
I still am missing why it wouldn't overflow if the pump was turned off... I guess the overall piping design prevents that but am curious how all that lays out

The best 👍
Thank you for sharing,
See you for your next video…
GODBLesS
An explanation of how the system works would be helpful for us beginners......
Been looking to see if you've made any vids on how to DIY the biofilter to turn the nitrates to nitrates
Another awesome video🙌
As a older newbie I can't get my head around how the system runs, what causes the water to exit the fish tank
Figured it out now I've put my own system together

GRATITUDE 💥🐟💥
Nice! Just found you channel and already looking forward to the next updates on your aquaponics garden.
Thanks Andrew!
I like the system but I don’t understand how the pressure from the pump cuts of when the tank is draining I understand the float chamber for empty’s

is the water from the tap or the collected from rain
Excellent bro❤❤❤

Thanks. What is your reasoning for larger diameter pipes?
@@mattysbackyard9244 to maximize the water flow rates and to fully use the potential of your pump.
how many liters of IBC tank you used

Sorry if I missed it but what did you use to seal the lids on the tanks so they don't leak? as well as sealing all of your bulkheads?
I used silicone 👍🏼😊
Problem, i dont have a uncle called bob.. lol need more dwc you will see lettuce love dwc i reckon 2 more beds
Lol, I’ll eventually add to it I’m sure! 👍🏼😊
Hai Is pump work 24*7? if any problem power falure?
Yes the pump is on 24/7. It’s best to have a Solar and Battery system in place for backup in case of a power failure.
@@mattysbackyard9244 Thank You🙏

do you have a second you-tube channel?
