Aquaponics At School!

Just been given the OK to set-up a mini aquaponics system up at work. Will be a small aquarium job first to show the basic concept in action and then hopefully a bigger system! Can't wait to get it started! Was thinking of getting an old fish tank laying around at home and then some clear tubs from Bunnings. The idea is to setup a flood and drain using the affnan siphon and grow waterever in the grow bed. I may do a mixture of lettuces. Anyway, exciting stuff, the AP word is getting out their and the students will be learning about the nitrogen cycle!
