Ok, I finally got around to posting some pictures of our starter/learning system. We still have a ways to go from the aesthetics standpoint, but I truly have never with my own two eyes seen anything more beautiful than aquaponics! We are planning an expansion this spring that will double our FT and GB capacity. Can't wait! Anyway, this is where we are so far.

In the spring with our expansion, we plan to use paving stones to make nice walkways and make storage cabinets beneath the GBs to tidy things up a bit. Also expanding the grow shed a bit and installing solar panels to charge our battery. We are currently powering with an extension cord to run the charger. The pump and valve run off a deep
cycle battery.

As soon as we finish that, I will probably have another list of things we can do to improve upon our system. So enjoying this journey!
