Flood and Drain Aquaponics System

I set out to design a small basement aquaponics system following the
recommendations in Sylvia's book, as well as some of my own ideas and
advice from friends.

First I jotted down a bill of materials for the larger parts and things
I think are needed. I've included links to the sources from which I
purchased each item. Once I have these in hand and begin assembly I
will post additional items, alterations, and notes.

Now I bought (2) Aqueon Submersible Aquarium Heaters, 200 watt - again on Sylvia's advice to have a two so that if one fails the temp can be kept reasonable while a replacement is found.
