I haven't been painting this week. Since I go back to work part time next Tuesday, I was really wanting to get my aquaponics system up and running before I go back to work. So I have been working on it full time this week. I am making progress.
I finished burying my bathtub/sump tank.
I decided to move the fish tank out side as I think I will have less problems keeping it hot. I painted all my barrels to retard algae growth and laid them out and got the drains plumbed.
I have just about finished installing the overflows. It is a pipe within a pipe.
I made a trip to get a truck load of gravel and tomorrow hope to wash it and fill up the grow beds. Then I have to plumb the supply water, and overflow from the fish tank back to the sump tank and I should be ready to add plants and fish.
