The horizontal beams of the frame of the tall and long shelves were bending under the weight of two new growbeds when filled with clay balls. Additional steel posts were attached, and it now looks OK.

The plumbing for these new growbeds were done with soft 25 mm tubes for both inlets and outlets.

Thanks for letting me know.
I am not good at runnng for bargain goods.
My wife's car is being fixed for a couple of days, and this means I have to yield my car to her for the duration of repair.

My first system:
- 5000L fish pond since July 2011. 35 gold fishes, 30 silver perch fingerings in Feb 2012.
- 2 x 350L grow beds linked to the fish pond on Feb 12, 2012.
- all silver perch died over one month, but reasonable vegie growth

My second, expanded sysem:
- added 100 gold fish fingerings at the end of March.
- 4 x 350L grow beds since April 1, 2012

Most hydro shops will have it.... don't go anything smaller than 25mm...
