Laying out the beds

We have put in the table frames  - 4x6's spanning the top of the cinder block columns.  This begins to show what the greenhouse will look like.

Here is where the sump tanks are in relation to the grow beds.  There will be pumps in each of the tanks that will supply water to each of the beds.  That is what is next on the agenda.

Speaking of pumps. Will you need/want some kind of backup, or warning on power outages? I'd love a minimal solar/battery system, but my thoughts and actions are always light years apart!

I have been enjoying watching your progress! And I can't wait to hear your opinion on those growbeds. They look fantastic and I've been tempted to get some. I still need to expand out into another 200+ gallons of growbed, and I'm seriously thinking of buying those for it.
I'm heartbroken that I appear to have killed my fish. It's difficult to tell since I can't easily see into the tank. I'm thinking of putting in some kind of underwater light - like a fountain light or something - so I can see in there. But they aren't coming up to eat, so I'd say it's not going well in there.
But the plants! OMG the plants!
I can't wait to see yours once it's all up and running. :-)
