@Hedgedrew66 how often do you do backwash for the sand filter? Planing to add one to the system.

Everything looks fantastic by the way! Love those videos you post on FB!

Thank you. Once week. !!

Once week. And we had supplementary pool filters with pleated cartridges too. But have since turned off cause really wasnt for salt water and we see metal rusting. Looking for other solutions including custom salt water one

I know I said this before, I used to run system operations for a pharmaceutical company, I would love to run this, is the custom software done?

Have a look at AST bead filters. Used in Aquaponics primarily, you can set them up to auto backwash and automatically remove sludge.

Did you have to negotiate with the city at all around your water usage? Was the city infrastructure enough to handle a single house drawing thousands of gallons per day (I saw you make 10K g/day RODI water, with who knows how much waste water per day)

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew and seeing this whole setup in person.



One word to describe it: OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD-AMAZING!!!



Any updates on the office tank?

It never gets old Andrew!! To see such a varied and colorful selection of fish and many harder to keep species is just amazing and enjoyable. Your music selection ain't half bad either!
Happy Friday to you and your family !!!!
