Hello, my name is Robert, and I am a interested in aquaponics and hydroponics. I would to start a small experimental first. The system would use a 10 - 15 gallon fish tank, small pump, small grow bed airponic chamber, PVC pipe, PVC tubing, etc. As for the fish, I would use the eastern mosquito fish (Gambusia holbrooki), locally caught, or the western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), locally bought and the plants, I will use rosemary or lettuce.
How has the aquaponics been going for you? I live in Live Oak as well and I'm currently enjoying my fish pond....but have plans to add a raft system later on!
