Dustin, please excuse my first reply to your post in the discussion "does the moon affect planting in aquaponics."  I do not wish to discredit your teaching ability but I would like you to research issues before discounting fact.  I am a scientist at a world leading research laboratory a teacher at a prominent university and a master gardener volunteering at elementary schools with both outdoor gardens and indoor aquaponics, as well as bing an outdoor aquaponics enthusiast at my own home.  I have clarified my stance in a final post on the moon planting issue.  As the aquaponic system you have imaged is shown as residing inside and under lights, you are correct, your planting does not have to coincide with the moon phases. Your lighting is controlled by artificial means and you have the final choice over the length of photoperiod.  However, anyone practicing aquaponics under the sun and stars must plant according to the moon count and moon phases.
