This is yet another variation of the 55 gallon poly drum design. It didnt really make much sense cutting a 55 gallon drum in half and only using one of the two halves. So I designed a way to incorporate both halves into a single and compact design. This design is still compact enough to fit inside in a garage or basement and yet it can provide you with about a 50 gallon fish tank and 12 sq ft of grow bed space.
Another nice aspect of this design is that it is very versatile. As you can see from the pictures below that there is quite a few ways to mix up the design of this system. If you want to set one bed up as a media bed and the other as DWC raft it can be done with pretty minimal work. Of course there will be some addition plumbing and some slight modification to make that work but Ill let you work that out, I dont want to take all the fun out of building your own system ;).

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any design inputs in the comments. I spend a lot of time making these and every model is to scale and every measurement is exact. You can literally open the file, use the measuring tool and get every exact measurement you need to build this unit. I will put the link to download the SketchUp file at the bottom of the post. If you choose to download the file or if you just like the blog and would like to see more stuff like this, please leave a comment or share the blog on one of the social media site links below. It really helps me out and the more the blog grows, the more cool stuff Ill be able to share with you. (Build it at your own risk of course, Im not your daddy nor am I responsible for you. These are just fancy drawings and I cant guarantee they will work, they are here to try to help you out in your aquaponic endeavors)
Hope you enjoy!
