The odd floating contraptions in each tank are solids filters, in case anyone is wondering. I was running airstones in each tank, and thought I would capitalize on them by making air lift pumps. In each floating tray will sit a net pot with filter material attached to it. The airlift will bring solids up, and trap them. This should be easy to clean, and pretty effective. I hope that it cuts down on maintenance of the clarifying tank. Now if I could get them to travel around the tanks, kind of like those automatic pool sweepers, I would be golden.
The grow beds will be filled with net pots containing expanded shale media. This will act as additional filtration, and I will likely add some PVC pipe grow beds, kind of like these

Will probably build some additional filtration as needed to eventually reach my goal of 1500 pounds of fish. That is less than a pound per gallon, so I think it will be doable with excellent filtration.
Thanks for looking guys, and if anyone has ideas, or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Matt
