If you found us through a referral or a newsletter, which was it?: James Godsill Via Tom O'Donnell

What type of fish do you grow with? (select all that apply): Tilapia, Catfish, Other

How big is your fish tank?: I have tabletop systems 4 home-made and also work on a 2000 gallon tilapia and raft/grow bed system

Please tell us something else about yourself.: I started out doing tabletop systems built out of aquariums and hydroponic pumps and my own grow beds above, then did 2 courses, one at Herbs From Wales and one at the University of the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station's commercial aquaponic system with Dr. James Rakocy and his team. Am now volunteering to help grow and aquapon at the Farm:Shop in Dalston, London, UK which is the first aquaponic system in a shop in London, UK!
Love too from Diplo, my Siamese fighting fish and co-editor at http://www.floatingworlds.limeworld.us.to, see Diplo's diary and the Aquaponics Gallery page.

I am so glad to see someone has a system set up in London, can't wait to see the system in action in Dalston! Do you know if there is anyone at the Farm:Shop who could talk me through how it works at a high level?

I am currently trying to get advice on a good course to register for in the UK/Europe and any pointers on starting my first Aquaponics system. Any help you can offer would be fantastic.

Cheers
