the University of Arizona did some R&D on grow media. It is lighter, larger and more porous than the hydroton. I am having a big batch made. the hydroton costs a lot and it gets into my plumbing. are you going to raft your plants or put them into grow media?

I really would like to see this group grow. I am learning from other groups. So, I will show you mine, I hope you will show me your system or add to the discussion here. Oh, I am changing my hydroton to aquaponics stones. You can see them behind my tomatoes.

howdy from Tucson

I started about 6 mos ago with 50 pure white niles (ha ha), they were smaller than a dime and all white at the time, I put them all in a 100 gallon rubbermaid tank and a 50 gallon on top with hydroton and an experiment of plants. after 4 mos I seperated my 7 gray fish into another 100 gal tank with a 100 gallon tank on top experimenting with growing trees. a month later I sexed my fish to find 14 females,, I have added a 300 gallon rubbermaid in a greenhouse..

13 females with 2 males in a 100 gallon tank. I have 4 tanks with fish

Aquaponics is definitely possible in AZ!  We are in Tucson.  Great idea starting this group David.
