New to the forum and new to aquaponics. Hoping to get a sustainable setup going to provide my roommate and myself with low cost veggies, herbs and protein. Looking at different options but am going to be starting off with a 10 gallon aquarium with an ebb and flow grow bed for herbs on my kitchen counter. Looking forward to all of the knowledge and hopefully great food. Could a moderator please pm me? I made a post yesterday that said it needed to be approved. Just want to make sure there wasn't something wrong with my post because it has not been posted. |

That happens with all new members. It's just the moderators having a quick look to make sure you haven't signed up to spam the forum. Welcome. |

Thanks for the welcome. Hopefully I will have some time to do a little craigslisting to find some of my components tomorrow. |

Welcome to aquaponics. Quote: Hoping to get a sustainable setup going to provide my roommate and myself with low cost veggies, herbs and protein. When people ask me how much we've spent to grow-out a trout, I'm kind of embarrassed to tell them. Suffice to say, it isn't low cost. It is the most fun hobby I have taken up in all my years of researching and learning fun new sustainable projects. That is what it is all about for me. Fun and entertaining too!

I have always said the first trout cost me $1000 every one after that was cheaper I would hate to add up what the first bottle of boose cost |

My goals are to do this as extremely frugally as possible. I have one big thing going for me that my mother gave me her entire soil based growing set up that includes a ton of lights. My roommate is also a plumber, so that makes those materials cheap or even free. Everything else that I need I will buy used, with a coupon or barter for it. Of course I will have the electrical costs, but since my lighting is all led that should be low. Time will tell how much I actually end up spending, but I am going about it as budget minded as possible. |

Hey Nater, where in the mitten are you at? I'm just a bit south of Lansing. |
