A month away from moving into my own loft apartment in Philadelphia, PA.
Obsessed with the idea of being able to create an indoor micro-aquaponic system to supplement my food supply with homegrown fish and veggies. Will be around here a lot in the coming months as I plan out, build, and attempt to sustain a working system inside my new apartment. Always about balancing engineering, aesthetics, environmental awareness, and social responsibility. Also can't wait for yummy homegrown home-cooked meals!

Re: Hello from Philadelphia
Hi,
I'm also looking to set up a system in Philly. Do you have a fancy design to fit into (what I imagine is) a tight loft?

Re: Hello from Philadelphia
Of course! You can start with a simple 10 gallon aquarium tank and/or some other containers. Any way you can think it up, you can make it work!

Re: Hello from Philadelphia
I had meant the question for the original poster to discuss their design. I didn't want to turn this thread into talking about my setup. I made a new thread for that: New to Aquaponics, first design overview
It's a long post, but I am happy to see people so eager to help a newbie like me even when I didn't mean to ask.
