RFF overflowing while moving bed drains fine

Hi,

I'm building a DIY aquaponics/pond filtration system and can't figure out this problem.

From right to left: a 600L radial flow filter (RFF), a 300L moving bed with K1, and three IBC bog filters.

Flow is:

Pond → 14,000 L/h pump → RFF → Moving Bed → Bog filters → Pond

The RFF and moving bed are connected with 2 × 63mm pipes. The moving bed also drains through 2 × 63mm pipes and maintains a perfect water level about 20cm below the top.

However, as soon as I turn the pump on, the RFF fills completely and overflows, while the moving bed level stays fine. If I seal the RFF airtight, pressure builds and it works, but obviously that's not how I want it to operate.

The RFF → moving bed pipes have a couple of 90° bends and drop about 50cm.

Why can't the RFF gravity-feed the moving bed fast enough when the moving bed itself drains perfectly through the same 2 × 63mm pipe size?

Thanks in advance,

Dwayne

Birdseye restream not working

Hi everyone,

I'm running Frigate with Intel VAAPI and everything is working well except the Birdseye restream. Could anyone help me out please, I've already tried and tried. :D

What works

- All camera streams work correctly.
- Detection works.
- Recording works.
- Birdseye snapshot works: http://<frigate-ip>:5000/api/birdseye/latest.jpg
- Birdseye in the Frigate UI works when restream: false is configured.

What doesn't work:

As soon as I enable:

birdseye:

enabled: true

restream: true

mode: motion

The Birdseye live view becomes completely gray in Frigate.
Home Assistant (running on a different machine using the Frigate proxy), the camera.birdseye entity becomes unavailable.

Thanks in advance!

Gazonmest

Welke gazonmest gebruiken jullie?

Ik gebruik zelf aan het begin van het seizoen Nitrofoska Special. Die zorg voor een ongekende groeispurt en diepgroen dicht gazon met dikke grassprieten. De rest van het jaar gebruik ik DCM Vital Green. Deze combinatie werkt uitermate goed en ben zeer tevreden hoe het gazon er ieder jaar weer bij ligt. Het enige nadeel: ik heb een gazon van circa 800m2 en daarmee is DCM wel een erg dure keuze.

Kent iemand voordeligere (eventueel b-merk) meststof die vergelijkbaar is als DCM Vital Green?

Hi, my pool liner went from light blue to milky white in just one season. Not just a spot, but completely, even the bottom. It’s a hard calcium like scale which only comes off when scrubbing hard. The bright blue liner is just underneath, but scrubbing the entire pool by hand seems undoable (or is there a dedicated tool for this purpose?). Completely draining the pool is for the matter is also not possible because of the groundwater pressure.

I tried a bit of vinegar to test if it’s calcium, but this does absolutely nothing to the scale, so I am trying to figure out what it is and how to treat it.

Hoping anyone could point me in a direction, thanks in regard!
(I did use a lot of algaecide last year, but don't know if this has anything to do with it.)
