My tomato plants look the best I've had with lots and lots of blooms but there are no small tomatoes setting. Is there anything I can do to help the fruit set?

If they are not self-pollinating, you will have to do it for them. Shaking the plants vigorously several times a day should help.

Did you introduce yourself somewhere? How long in Aquaponics and what is your system setup?:mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum
Nice looking setup you have there.
Would love to know more about it and see more pics
Self pollinating can be as easy as shaking the branch to using a cheap battery-operated toothbrush to shake the pollen from the outside of the flowers to the middle (from the stamen to the stigma)
you could also just use your finger to gently rub around the flowering plants - anything to allow the pollen to separate and attach itself to the middle part of the flower :-)
