Hello all, I'm Callsign. I'm from Central Indiana currently going to school in the southern part of the state. I read the NY Times article on aquaponics and got hooked immediately. Having been into gardening for years now, I had looked at hydroponics setups before. They looked cool but I just couldn't get into the messing with all the chemical balances and whatnot; my gardening is best described as "Use common sense and just give your plants a little TLC". That's what attracted me to this; provided you give the fish food, refill lost water, and maybe throw in a little salt, the system is largely self-regulating. At the end of this week, I'm going home for winter break and I've decided to get an aquaponics setup for my dorm room for when I get back. I'm going to build the most inexpensive CHIFT PIST system that I can and stick it in the window next to my chair. I'm excited to explore the possibilities of these systems. |

Hey CS - welcome to the forums...Parts of the article were about one of the members here Web4Deb. Read through his thread and he has some great videos on YouTube also. I've done a lot of research on AP (aquaponics) and this is without a doubt the best source of info! Glad you found your way here! Mark |

Callsign, Where exactly are you located? I am in Central Indiana too, I have a small system in my basement and hope to expand to the outside this summer. John |

Hiya, Welcome! My 2 cents - take lotsa pictures and measurements of where you are gonna place the system. This will help heaps when you're sourcing growbeds and such! Warning: There is no escaping this addiction! |
