Howdy all,
A new member here and soon to be first time aquaponics addict. I live about 4 hours north of Perth on the coast and about to set up my first system. I only heard about aquaponics about a week ago and i am keen to have a go.
The Plan:
First off i am going to have a micro system for a trial. I have never had a fish tank that i have had to look after before but has been someting i have wanted since my parents had one when i was a kid. So non edible fish to start with running a small herb garden.
I am at the point now where i am about to start collecting all the equipment needed to get this system running. I usually find that instructions to set things up can be a little confusing until you try to do them and then they make all the sense in the world (especially siphons!). I have been looking locally and on gumtree for a tank to get me going, so hopefully in the next few weeks i will have all the gear ready to go.
The system I am going to aim for will be something like this one.

It seems fairly compact and i am hoping that i will be able to put it near a window and not have a light. I am moving house next week so i will know then.
Once i am satisfied that i have an idea about what i am doing then it will be time to nab a few IBC's from work
Thats the plan anyway
I have been stalking the forum for about a week now and it is a great resource with a great community. I am sure i will speak to you all before long
Cheers,
Ryan
good luck with the move 
I still want a tank for indoors, but i am impatient and want to start cycling asap.
