How the "clean water " is recirculated, how the water level is maintained in the tanks by just falling into the tank to increase oxygenation.
I feel behind the times in the systems that we have been using in the experiments and the current ones under construction. I actually have a regular stand up pipe which circulates water, and helps keep the water level in the tanks and filters. Then I have another pipe in each tank which has to be manually lifted to allow sediments to be flushed completely out of the system, with it's own exit pipe. To me this no labour approach is to say the least, very interesting. To me this is a new breakthrough which an untold number of fish farmers can benefit from. I am interested in the mechanics and the construction of something he has brought up, yet cannot produce any links, diagrams, or photos. Diverting attention away from this by skimming into brief comments on water chemistry, or Dalton's alleged actions or in actions , still does not illustrate this. Neither does eyeballing a glass with dirty water in it, to watch the dirt settle at the bottom.
