Hey all, glad to see some life's blood is being pumped back into this place. Seemed to have withered on the vine since Codi died, which by the way will be a year ago this coming 04/01/09.

In his honor and to throw out an idea that was his from another place, I found this recently and don't think he would mind if I put it here since I am giving him the credit for it. Want to start your own aquaponics system cheap with a little effort on your part? Check out this idea (it's a quote) by Codi:

Just thought about a water receptacle that can usually be acquired for
free and with minimal work serve as good, or better than a barrel. I
haven't used them in years, but back when I had very little money, I
use to scavenge for used refrigerators on every street for miles
around. The bigger the better.

It takes a little work to remove it, but with the holes filled with
aquarium sealant, a porcelain coated refrigerator liner sitting on
concrete blocks makes a great tank. Just a memory from the past that
could help with the future.

Anyone got a less expensive (better) idea than this?
