Hello from Concord, NC

[bebout1]

I have been studying aquaponics for few months now it's time to get started.

Hello,
Welcome to the site, glad to meet someone near me, have meet several locals getting started off site. Just PM if you have any questions.

Welcome,
What type of system are you thinking about building? Indoor, Outdoor?? Always interesting to see what others are planning.

[Roger L.]

Welcome from another new guy! You will find it is a wealth of knowledge freely given on this forum.

[JCO]

Welcome...you've arrived just in time to catch the last train to the Aquaponic Addiction Farm with the rest of us. There is no shot for it and NO cure... :lol: :mrgreen:

[15mules]

JCO that is not entirely true. I have found dumping more money into system parts, gives relief for a little while. Of course that is usually offset, once I see I still need MORE stuff!!

[Roger L.]

Bebout1 what type and were will/is your system? Be sure to send pics as we are a very visual group.

[Aloha Don]

Welcome
What will you be building?
Let us know your ideas and progress.

[eddiemigue]

Welcome! Look forward to updates and pics.

[Aloha Don]

Just noticed Bebout 1 said Hi in Jan...
So......What about an update?

[JCO]

You have run upon the mystery of forums...people come and then .... POOF! Gone to who knows where :shock: :? :mrgreen:

[Aloha Don]

I think the fish are fighting back.
They are taking AP people and making them "swim with the fishes" :shock:

[eddiemigue]

I have been pondering the same thing. I hope that it's not folks who give up on AP and lose interest. I'd rather it be that folks get their start and then chug along w/o wanting to post anymore. At least this way self sufficiency would be propagating.

[Roger L.]

It would be very easy to quit if they had just a very small setup. With the setbacks that I have had, self made most of them, it has crossed my mind. But I figure its up and running, some of the plants are doing fair, and the fish are entertaining if nothing else. To me it's a way to occupy my mind, and at my age I am learning to have patience, something I have never been very good at. Plus you guys have also been so helpful and fun to talk with.

[eddiemigue]

Ah, patience and delayed gratification, two things that gardening and AP have thought me...

[Aloha Don]

What is this patience thing of which you speak......
Trying to learn and stop tinkering......
Must ...non....touch....

[eddiemigue]

Lol. So true. It is hard to not tinker, especially in the beginning.
