    For the drain, if youtake a small piece of plywood with the hole for the drain cut in it and secure it to the bottom side of the bed with a larger hole cut in the floor of the bed the bulhead will be recessed allowing for more complete drainage.

    Hi there before I ask my question let me say a BIG THANKS tou for your videos. I am new in aquaponics and your videos as therrow as they are have filed most of the gaps i had on the subject.
    What I am strugling with is the subject of the grow bed liner. Figered out it should be something like pond liner but it raises a questions like is it a special food grade or not. Chemical reaktivity on amonia ,nitrites and nitrates or with the suplements for the plant deffiscienses. Also thicknes and durabilyty and shel life. as wel as if you have any experience growing shrimps or crabs on the bottom of the beds as additional cleaners can they damage the liner mechanicly.
    Al and al it raises alot of questions.
    So can you make a video on the topic or at least point me in the right direction please. There is realy verry litle information on the net about it so please share your cnoledge.

      You can use pressure treated yes. I just used Douglas fir because it was cheapest. I’ve had some of these boards in use for 5 years, I’ll probably replace them next year. Pressure treated wood could leach into the water but if it’s covered completed I don’t see the risk

    Having used liners extensively for ~8 years, I can't recommend them.
    Fiberglass is WAY more repairable and user friendly. If your liner rips (and it WILL rip), that's it, it's done. You can try to patch it, but because of the biological activity in your system, the patch is VERY unlikely to hold.
    Fiberglass can simply be repaired. It's much easier and lasts MUCH longer.

    this is painful to watch. do you not know what 16 on center means? mean, on center, not on the left, or the right. on center. if you were building a house, you already failed inspection. also, a little tip, mark the 16 on center marks on boards from both sides at the same time. this make it uniform on both sides. mess up on measurement on one, it automatically transfers to the other. luckily you did it to all of them, so they all are the same distance. but i am certain you came into a lot of problems with construction on this but didnt show it.
