How did you find us?
Sylvia left a comment on my blog about my experimental system.
Are you an aquaponic gardener already?
Starting first system
If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply)
I started building on February 20th, 2010 and finally finished getting most of the pieces together on March 5th, 2010. I'm running a 55 gallon fish tank with decorative fish (including 5 bottom feeders) into 2 16 quart plastic bins filled with hydroton. The water is gravity fed back into the tank.

So far I have the following seeds germinating: beefsteak tomatoes, sweet peppers, Great Lakes lettuce, Marketmore cucumber, cilantro, lavender, and oregano. I'm waiting on the snap peas, Genovese basil, and scallion seeds to catch up. I transplanted a strawberry plant that seems to be doing well. I've also plopped in some green onions just to see if they'll last longer, to find they started rooting.
Please tell us something else about yourself.
I'm a graphic designer (online and offline) who has been raising fish and aquascaping for the past several years. I love gardening, but since I moved to the desert my green thumb turned brown.

I run my own web comic as a visual blog: http://www.emacartoon.com

    Thanks for the tip, Emma- I had no idea that code was showing itself down there! I like your desktop system- my little system last year is responsible for getting me hooked on aquaponics... good luck!
