Aquaponics As a Food Source

Bulkhead fitting yeah that was the word I was looking for. I used two electrical PVC fittings in a way that they were like bulkhead fittings. The fill tube is affixed to a fitting that is acting like a bukhead fitting through the wall of the tub, so it won't come out and all that and leak.

I can still turn up the water on the pump so I have plenty of play in that variable. I just think not enough water is getting to the tub with the siphon in it to activate the siphon. because the raft tub seems to be filling up faster than can go through the tube between the two tubs. I have a known good siphon that I was using in the first setup. With that one I had to shorten the stand pipe and bell siphon a little at a time to dial it in and get it to work, but It worked for 2 months like clockwork. Maybe I'll put that one in.
