The original system (aquarium and the growtray on the right) is about 3 months old, I've already harvested a bunch of lettuce, peas, and bell peppers from it. The vertical system I just decided to build one night for fun, its only been up there maybe 3 weeks, which is why there is not much algae yet. I suspect more will come soon, and in the future I'll use opaque tubes with clear sections (maybe check valves) so I can see flow while minimizing the conditions for algae growth.
