I’ve got a suggestion for you on the leaking sump tank. If you find the
need to remove the sump tank again. Purchase a product called JB Weld. it’s
inexpensive and easy to work with. Set your tank up on a couple of saw
horses and lay underneath so you can see all of the little pin holes. The
JB Weld is like a paste, so just smear some of it on the holes with your
finger, let it set up for a few hours, and it should be water tight again.

Thanks. I do have two hop plants in the aquaculture bed for beer making.
Your idea is a good one to have couple small ropes just hoist it up and up
to the top .. let it down when harvest time! Great idea, I will probably do
that.

Appreciate the video. I learned alot. I was at a permaculture course a
couple weeks ago. This fella grew his hops up a metal line on the side of
his 2 story house. Said he would get over 2 lbs of hops from each 20 ft
section. His point was that you can make your garden more 3d. Wonder how
hopes would grow going up to the top of your greenhouse. Maybe have a
pulley at the top so when it was time to harvest you could let out the
slack and harvest the crop from one standing.

Could you use roofing tar to coat the inside of your tanks? Seal it and
waterproof everything. I have seen it in a spray can, ads on tv and I know
Home Depot has it. Just for the area you need to cover, the spray cans
would cost a small fortune.

It’s nice to see it working (seemingly) well. 😛

Thats a good idea I thought about it to. But it would put oil into the
system. I bought a pond liner for that tank and will install it this
weekend if I can find the time. Thanks for the advice though, its a good
idea.
