Please tell us something else about yourself.: Interested in getting started in aquaponics, current day job is software developer - when employed.

As a software developer I am wondering if there is any software available to manage an aquaponics site. As a beginner i am not yet aware of what needs to be tracked and monitored, so if anyone wants to send me some comments they would be appreciated.

Thanks

Aquaponics is a wonderful way of life and the only viable approach to grow fish and vegetables naturally
