Welcome.

If you have a read through the member systems you'll get an idea of cost and how a lot of systems were put together.

Your first step is to gather together the following components:

• Glass or plastic fish tank; 3 to 20 gallon size (1 to 2 square feet for growing per every 10 gallons of water)
• Air pump; large enough to match the number of tank gallons
• Air stone
• Tubing to connect air pump to air stone; approximately 3 feet
• Water pump; needs to lift 18 to 54 inches at 30 to 100 gallons of water per hour
• Tubing which fits outlet on water pump; approximately 3 feet
• Gravel; 2.5 pounds per every 5 gallons of water of the tank and color doesn’t matter
• Grow bed; 3 to 8 inches deep
• Growing medium; enough to fill grow bed
• pH test kit and chemicals to balance out the water if necessary
• Heater; optional
• Light; optional
• Plants; these can be purchased after the first cycle
• Fish; can be purchased after the first cycle
