Well, I was bored one weekend, so I hit Kijiji, picked up a free fridge and started an aquaponics garden... much to my fiancé's shagrin, lol.
I now have 2 buckets inside the fridge, a humidifier in the bottom, lights, a form of hydroponics for the small plants in the freezer (not plugged in, of course), a big garbage can with pumps/filter/return lines, another big garbage can filled with gold fish and the return line from the fluval FX filter (fish bucket drains into brain bucket)... and I'm in the basement for an hour and a half a day, hahaha.
I went with a fridge setup because it's easy to control the temp and humidity, plus I can build my basement bar around it and hide everything away
.I'm having a bit of a problem now though. It's been running for about a month and a half, and I'm seeing LOTS of good growth, but my roots have what looks like sand in them. from what I've seen, it doesn't LOOK like root rot, but can anyone with more experience have a gander and see what they think?
Already a fun experience!!! And my fiancé is more on board now that she's had some stuff from the fridge
