Hi
I've recently installed an aquaponics system. The siphon was working brilliantly and grow bed was draining well. Suddenly the siphon has stop working as efficiently can anybody give me any ideas why this would happen?

G'day small fry, you might get a few more responses over on the aquaponics forum. Could it be a change in the pumping volume?

+ 1 the rate of grow bed inflow can change how a siphon operates, might also be that plant roots are blocking it although I am sure you have already checked for that or it might have developed an air leak.
