Okay my allergies were killing me when I shot this, but here's a vid of my system:
Here are some phone pics from today (can't find my camera) :

One of the tomato plants has tiny buds now, but the basil are very chlorotic. Nothing seems to work in the pond. I assume it's because of the heat combine with poor aeration.
I have some iron chelate and a few large airstones ordered.
An update....
Wow, nice system.
Hi Lagniappe,
You're making good progress.....and I'm encouraged by your efforts to keep the solids out of your growing systems.
Can you post some test readings so we can make better sense of the 'chlorosis' problem? Other info on the number and size of fish would be helpful, too.
I thought I could see two large objects in your fish tank......one is obviously a pump (the one sitting in the container full of gravel) but what is the other one?
