[QUOTE="sklfco, post: 3789534, member: 24908"] On mine I have just a single “pond pump” from the local home improvement center. One of the 300-500 gph I would like to say from memory. There is about 30 feet of horizontal run but only about 4’ of head. I keep the pump suspended about 18” above the bottom as it is one with the automatic switch, kinda a poor mans low water shutdown feature. As to flow adjustment, I ran a t fitting and run one end wide open and adjust pressure/flow with a ball valve on the other end which dumps into a homemade biological filter(just a bunch of sponges) on top of the fish tank. I adjust that valve to get my desired flow through the grow materials. We have done a couple loads of catfish from Moore’s fish farm, feeding them dog food. The harvest from those was the best I have ever had, and they were just plain ol channels. [/QUOTE]
