Please tell us something else about yourself.
I used to keep large aquariums and this seems like a great way to combine the two interests. I have been coordinating with fellow AP member Michael Cosmo (who lives about 8 miles from me). We both utilize a Vertigro system. I have about 75 baskets and also have a smaller media based system with the verticals feeding it.
I'm a keep it simple guy and primarily use a hands-off approach. I'm not checking water quality constantly; plants either grow or they don't. I guess it would be organics to the extreme due to laziness.
After two years of a toss together system, I plan to upgrade and improve this year. I started by replacing my Wal-Mart kiddy pool fish tank with a rubbermaid stock tank. I'll be moving the setup to a better location and putting up a hoop style greenhouse to protect it better. Then add some gravel beds and enjoy.
