Looks great mate. Well done!

I can't imagine it's easy to find some parts in Cebu.

Getting ready to do an outdoor system in about 6 month, and have looked at this type (NFT) system.
I am curious though, what type of temperature swings do you see with the water flow going through the pvc pipes? do you need to regulate the fish tank at all? I have heard this type system is more susceptible to temperature swings due to the low water levels being circulated.

Just curious
Thanks

you're right about the temp. swings as i experienced it first hand with this set up. after 2 weeks of this set-up, i covered the polycarbonate roofing with another set of insulation made of disdcarded sacks for fish feeds. as temperature in this part of the world reaches 34degrees Celsius during noontime. plants almost withered but due my timely correction, they are all well and the fish are great.
