For my first adventure in to aquaponics I am pleasantly surprised. When I bought my plants from Lowes they were the Best of the Worst. Being so late in the season they had very poor looking plants. (Not knocking Lowes) I picked a flat of nine broccoli plants, a flat of nine romaine lettuce (Only five were alive and I had a discount), and a flat of nine Collards. This was after I had cast some leaf lettuce in one of the beds and given up on it. The plants I bought went from damn near dead to flourishing amazingly. The Lettuce I planted from seed is now growing surprisingly fast and I planted more. as well as planting a large amount of spinach yesterday. Can't wait to plant the new grow bed tomorrow.

I believe I have the ability to expand to one or two more grow beds with the way my tanks are right now.

Here are a few pics of my plants. I have never had plants look this good. Especially for being in such poor condition when I got them.
