I figured this would be a good time to start a new thread seeing how I have a semi finished system. Things are back running smooth again, I am going to redesign the siphon but this one will do for the first round. Hopefully it goes well.

originally I was planning on lettuce but I think I am going to go with some herbs like basil to start with.

Alright guys I have some Nitrate level in my system! Everything else seems to be doing good, PH is around 7.6 and Ammonia is at around .25ppm.

I just sprinkled some seeds on top of the stone, I have been misting them every once in a while to make sure that they are wet enough so they will sprout. Should I be doing anything different to "plant" them?

Hey guys hows it going? Things are going good on my front, I just got this new job and I finally finished training and don't have all day to surf the internet, its the pits :-)

Anyway things are going good I have some sprouts growing. And I had some sprouted garlic that I put in the system just because why not? That seems to be taking off. I haven't had any fish deaths in a while. They all seem very healthy and are ALWAYS begging for food, I feel like I am under feeding them but everyone I talk to says that I am probably feeding them the right amount.

Anyway here are some pictures I took at the beginning of the week (which is when I intended on posting them).

I am thinking about making a video this weekend. The plants are actually a lot bigger since I have taken the pictures, maybe I will snap some more.

I just wanted to thank you guys for all your help.
