Hello!, finally getting around to introducing myself.
I have been gleaning as much information on this forum as a lurker for a few weeks now & have taken a few tentative steps to building my first test unit. I live in an apartment & wanted to build a herb/salad bar type system to get a feel for aquaponics. Hoping by the time we move to a place with a garden, I could start building one those monstrous 8 GB doodads with serious food fish!
I nicked my system from japanaquaponics.com because i thought their ikea hack was an aesthetically pleasing alternative for the balcony. I also chose not to use a Bell siphon because i'm worried that my neighbours will be annoyed by the noise. At this point, I am still looking for the hydroton to fill the GB and wondering if I should try the fish-less cycle or just hope & pray that the goldfish I intend to get will survive cycling.
Looking forward to learning more from all you aquaponics gurus!
