Title: dripp system and racks and more in the works
Post by: runawaypencil on July 16, 2012, 08:23:15 PM

Here you go Ron I got the drip system working with only 2 small leaks from fittings that weren't pushed in enough, unfortunately we couldn't find a glass drill bit any where in and local stores so were now waiting on the bit to come in the mail to continue our draining system... but we now have room for 24 50gallon tanks all on a drip system and drain system.  each tank is set with a .5 dripper that runs 24-7,  the room is heated and the water is on Detroit city tap. This whole set up is for fry grow outs, more pics are to come of other racks and once the tanks are filled and drains are working...

The first rack is kind of trashy with the supports facing the wrong way and not flush the other racks are much nice built

You guys made some good progress.

Is there a pressure regulator somewhere for the water line? If so, what is being done with the diverted water volume?
