Please tell us something else about yourself.: I buried a 150 gal watering tank in my green house. right now i have 3 ten foot joints of 3" pvc pipe w/ 2.5" holes in them. i put creek gravel in them . i have 1/2 lb of minnows in my tank. i feed them fish food. i pump the water up into the pipes & it gravity flows thru the pipes back into the fish tank. no veg yet. just wanting to learn more.

About me & a question.

I have sent something simlar to this already some where. So this wont quit be the same as the first one . But anyway, thanks for answering so soon. Youre great, But you knew that already, huh. About me; I have a greenhouse 12' X 28' I tried growing plants in soil in boxes but didnt work too good. I wanted to try hydroponics. So I got on the computer to find out about it and ran across aquaponics. I liked the soundof it better than hydroponics. So I'm in the process of changing. I have tried the 3" pipe system, but not as good as I wanted it to be. So I have set up the barrel System, havent gotten it to working yet. As soon as i figure out how to work this computer on this web site I will send you a picture of me, and some of my system. But my question was How do you get rid of algee. I think it is bad on my plants as well as my fish. If you would be kind enough to tell me I would be ever SO thankful. thanks again.
