Hey guys,
First time here. And in need of some advice .

I'm setting up a ibc tote to raise/farm silver perch. Would have regular water changes (weekly approx 10%) to water my Garden.

Details of a set up I have in mind is in the attached picture.
The spacing of it is not accurate.

Details:
1000L ibc
2 x 220L barrels.
First is a trickle filter that returns to an empty barrel with a return pump.

My question really is, is this a good set up?

Would gravity alone be enough for my filtration. And would it be able to keep up if I put a strong return pump. Approx 2000L an hour.

I plan on having 50 silver perch fingerlings .And will reduce in numbers as time progresses.

I would like to do this on the weekend.

So help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

This post was from a while back just seeing if you have pics or ideas for my 275. I'm turning it into indoor garage pond for 3 koi and a turtle. Was just going to use fluval fx6 and make nice rock wall for basking area. Thanks.
