I put a new (to me) pump in the blue barrel system and put it on a $3.99 timer so that now it runs for 15 minutes out of every 90 minutes. A lot of people in aquaponics seem to do this. This is because it pumps so much more water than the other one did. I'm not sure how it will go when there is fish in because I'm not sure if that will be enough oxygenation. I'm not sure about some stuff sometimes. I also have an old aquarium air pump, so that might come into play to solve the lack of oxygenation issue.
It looks like the system is cycled and running steadily so its time to get some fish!
