- 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.

I live in Roy, WA about 20 minutes south of Tacoma. So we share quite a bit I would guess: climate, supply availability, etc. Do you know of any restrictions? Like importing different fish species?

Hey, Ricky.
It's fun to keep up on your project. Will it carry into the school year?

Hi Ricky, I'm located in Kirkland WA, I was wondering if you would be interested in working on an open source project to develop an aquaponic greenhouse for developing nations.
