Hey just love your videos ! You have a wealth of info thanks for all of your videos and I was wondering where are you located just wondering I'm here in the U.S. in Arizona and I'm planning on building a large aquaponic garden .I should be able to grow all year my only concern is water temps in the summer I'll have to shade it really well while airateing it to keep water temps down . Thanks again for all your videos they offer tremendous information.

@teddyksaylor Hi ted, this particular siphon was a test concept to use on multiple growbeds, its still needs lots of work to make it running without problem.

I am located in the Far East, in Malaysia.

Makes sense, but doesn't take advantage of your bell siphon design. Lol. I like the design. I may try it when I get around to multiple grow beds. Thanks for the info.

[dpeffinger]

Affnan, is it necessary to pump water into all four grow beds? If you pump into just one grow bed will they all fill evenly with water? This might be an option to using multiple grow beds with just one auto-siphon. Also, if each grow bed has it's own auto-siphon, will it aerate the fish tank better?

[affnan]

@dpeffinger With loop siphon is not necessary to have separate inlet for growbed, one is enough for each cluster. However its recommended to have separate inlet to ensure no lagging effect in filling up and only one gb will be doing most of the solids filtering.

Aeration goes by the volume of water going down the siphon, if combination of many siphon still having same volume of one, then the advantage is only on distribution of the aeration. Try getting optimum from one siphon its better.

Well U are Truly a wonderful person! I like your "swivel" technique. I use something kinda like it in my garage setup at my home.
