It's Going To Be An Aquaponic Christmas

Just finished my Christmas shopping, it's the only shopping I've done all year, the best part is that the presents are for me. My inlaws give me money to buy what I want, this year I wanted the supplies to start an indoor aquaponics system. Had most of the components, the rest I got from either the hardware store or the tool store, Harbor freight. I'm going to have to wait until after Christmas, the wife's rules, but I'm looking forward to trying it out. I have my old neighbor intrigued, if I can snag him it's sure to be a success, he can do anything!

Aquaponics In The Basement Or The Backyard?

Found a cool site about backyard aquaponics, shows you how to do it with either a fish tank or food grade 55 gallon barrels. Another is a video about a system to use in your basement, yeah, fish in your basement! I've got to try one, probably the one in my basement, haven't told the wife yet, but I'm sure she'll be as excited as I am. Now what kind of fish do I want, smoked trout, fried catfish, or broiled Tilapia? There's a house that has been empty for a while up the street that has a cool little greenhouse, may need to figure out how to acquire that for future use? Tomatoes and salad all year long with a little fish, sounds like a plan to me.
