Hello All!

I've been lurking for a time now. The aquaponic systems got me really excited, so I have started to build one for myself. However, I live in an apartment that has a shared backyard, so I decided to make sure it was aesthetically pleasing to everyone.

Let me know what you think. Suggestions, criticisms, and compliments are totally welcomed.

Tank holds 94 gallons
Grow Bed is 4' x 4' and 11" deep.
Got a few sprouts going separately.
Have a neighbor with a Koi pond who has given me a gallon of his water to start cycling my farm. I should be ready to go within 2 weeks.

Your of and running now mate :thumbright: , get those vegies in there and dump some seaweed extract in to get them going.

Are you cycling with or without fish.

Hello Peters,

I just love the wood tank surround I have it on my system. When I saw your's I had a big grin on my dial. I even have a pond liner line sump:-)

My next door neighbor was nice enough to give me some of his pond water. I have been debating doing a fish-less cycle, but finding 100% ammonia has been harder than I thought. Think I will pick up some goldies today and do my best to keep them alive.

I can't tell you how excited I am. It is on my mind all the time now. I am such a city slicker.
