    It's officially a Build!

    The build is in progress and yes I have pictures.

    The cut down tote.


    The cut down frame


    The insulated bottom, a $12 foam floor mat from the discount store, cut to size.


    Mostly roughed out bottom section.


    More pics tomorrow night if I can. Thoughts? Suggestions? All welcome.

    The pics where fine last night when I uploaded them to the site, but I can't see them now either. Maybe the site admin can look into it, the picture links do point to diyaquaponics.com.

    Hm... JCO will have to look at this one. The forum doesn't seem to know where the file is, but it might be lost on the server somewhere. Weird.

    Bummer, I can't see them either. But congrats any way T...

    I use photbucket and use 'their link' in my posts. It seems to work well here.

    I think your grow bed is a little short in height? How deep is it?

    It's 8", I plan on using this one for lettuce and smaller plants. I plan on building some other deeper beds for the larger stuff. My thought was to keep the tote as large as possible, so when I add the other beds, I could support a little larger fish population. I have some barrels I plan on using for tomatoes this spring.

    Looking good. The pictures look much better now!

    What kind of media are you planning on using?
