Main problems vinly house aquaponic system

I build wooden boxes for growing the plants , some with clayballs and  some with only water (deep water culture) in the begining all went o.k. but 6 months later the wooden boxes started the break down ..
water was to heavy ..
after 1.5 years I only used one box with clayballs and the rest are now raised beds . to make baby plants ..
also I made one deep water wooden box again and testing it now again .. made it stronger and more water prove.. until now it looks o.k !!

The water tanks for the fish and sump tanks are  IBC tanks (they have no issue) only some issue when it is raining to much and the water level in the ground pushes the tanks up (if they are empty ..)
this problem is resolved by always filling them with a lot of water before a rain storm and drainage around the vinly and green house


Solutions
using big growing beds (wooden boxes) is not wise because if they break down the are difficult to repair and heavy ,, and big .. so better is to use a bucket system .. like ducth buckets .. in place of the big clayball bed's

for deep water culture It looks to be easier to make them from concrete construction 


Plans , Todo

Green house
clean up the internal vinly house and build the dutch bucket system .. keep the IBC system (stones) but clean them ..
so remove the growing beds
paint the concrete inside of the green hosue
build a floor

dutch buckets system non active

entrance solar house under stone pad there is a drainage system

made a small garden in front of solar house and plant some cumumbers and other climbing vegies

ICB growing beds , with tomatos and strawberries

floor wthat is to wet too long ...

also connect more batteries, and panels to the system so they can power the pumps.

Vinly house
In the vinly house I will make a concrete floor and build the deep water system from concrete..
also will look for a concrete fish tank construction.\

I am now building an office in the vinly house and will make some protection for the sump tanks ..
so clean up and make the vinly house pretty..

The plan is to make a place for strawberries a tube system and a nice place to make seedlings
I am planning to move the old wooden boxes outside ... because I need the space inside the green house 

will place some photos of the current situation ..
log development of these places ..
