Please tell us something else about yourself.
I am a personal chef in the Seattle area. This small tank is phase 1 in an experiment to learn/teach about organic/sustainable indoor farming of fish & veggies in small spaces. If this is successful, I want to move to phase two in the spring to grow veggies with ornamental fish (no room for edibles) in my apt.
UPDATE: 4-25-11 Phase 2 is starting. 55 gallon is half filled and I believe it to be fully mature system ready to plant crops in a vertical grow system as soon as we get a little more light here in the NW.

    Hi Ricky,

    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 get in there and start asking questions. Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic.

    A great place to start is to read the How to Use This Site link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Main page.

    Please add a photo of yourself and participate!

    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you (especially since my daughter goes to UDub!)

    Sylvia

    It certainly made my day, that's for sure! I'm an iPhone addict so I had this baby loaded up within 3 minutes of finding out about it. Glad there is at least one other person who is as excited about it as I am!

    I've never tried directly from my iPhone. Bummer!
