I have started this reply 3 times now and before I finish the screen starts loading something and everything goes away and I have to start over. Anyway I will be assembling my project this weekend and hope to start cycling by next weekend. What is the availability, and how much for how much? My e-mail is kentevans@bellsouth.net. I drive thru Sandford every day. Let me know.

Thank you,

Kent

I wonder if the grow stones you speak of are the same stones that are said to be used as a growing media for aquaponics. I am about to start a grow system with a 150 gal. fish tank and two 50 gal. grow beds and a grow media is near the top of my list of things I must acquire.
