That looks right.
I think there was someone else too.
I like picture evidence. My version of success is different than others'.
I think people, me included, sometimes get hung up on the coolness of a contraption/system, it's parts, and the operation of it. But look at the plants too!
I recall an aquaponic set up I saw pics of. The structure was beautiful. The plants were spindly and looked pathetic. Not to mention the plant density in the greenhouse was abysmal. All that infrastructure for a handful of sorry plants. But everyone oohed and ahhhhed over the system because it looked cool and was recycling organic nutrients!
Basically, be careful who you copy. Think about what you are doing in why.
And when in doubt, ask Worth! Seriously, 17,000 plus posts aren't 10,000 of 'OK' or 'thanks' type replies!
