Needed Tips and Advice
We are converting our 100 gallon hydroponics Ebb and Flow Table to aquaponics. The only knowledge we have is what we've gained from internet (videos, forums, etc.). We have a 1000 gallon pond that we'd like to incorporate into the system. I understand cycling and the importance of measuring Ph, Amonia, etc., but am a little vague on how to get the system ready for plants and fish.
Any tips?
Here a link to our blog with a few photos (more to come, we're slow to blog).

Thanks. I'm looking forward to learning from you all.

No it will not, Tues Aug 28th is the last class. This is the first class in AP Seattle parks and Rec has offered. I have written a proposal to start similar classes on a larger scale with adults (the younger youth are not really my favorite to teach, takes a special kind of teacher that isn't me, lol) I hope they approve the proposal and i can continue.
Hey there! I recognize those bucket pictures from Twitter!
Welcome Scotty!
