    Hi Richard,

    We are practically neighbors - I live in Boulder.

    Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics. There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to join in. Always thrilled to have experienced growers join us – please post some photos of your system!

    We have just one rule - keep it cordial (no flaming!).

    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.

    my residents used to get along each other very until recently, I thought the crayfish only trying to hitch a ride in the goldfish' tail, only to find out that the shrimp wants to have the goldie for chow, consuming entirely the first batch of 1inch of 9 fishes.

    Hi Richard, My name is Jimmi and I am a recent member of this site. I have been browsing the photos to get an idea of what others are doing a would really like to get some info on the IBC systemyou have set up. Would there be someinstructions I could follow, as I want to set up a system as a dispaly system. I am currently setting up a small commercial raft system.
