Bcotton, thank you for sharing! Perfect timing as I am in the process of gathering parts to set up my first aquaponics system in my outdoor sunroom. So far I have my 300 gallon "Rubbermaid" water tank and 3 24x36x8 grow pots.At this point I plan on using the "raft" system or a mix of raft and media based. As for fish I am still undecided but am thinking Blue Talapia or HSB.
