Moving the fish was a bit of a pain but we had no casualties!
Moving the plants was a bit painful, and not a lot made the move due to the heat (was a ver hot day!).
This time my Dad simply welded up a section that we could pop on top of a full IBC, so the two beds could sit to the side. Then we just needed to add the support beams to hold the weight of the water/grow bed material and plumb it all in. We mostly reused what we had in the old chop and flip system and purchased an additional siphon from Aqua Gardening.
The new system had a huge algae bloom due to the plants not being established so the water did turn green, but there are way less chunks floating around now and we're slowly getting the plants filtering the water.
Plants are in!
New system with a full tank!
We've planted one bed out with ginger and corn, and the other with some capsicums, chillis, zucchini and replanted the basil. The fish are looking really good and we're hoping to eat some really soon!
I'll post an update on how the plants are looking each month, you can find our updates here.
