    Hello

    Hello from Northern Minnesota,

    I'm just starting to research aquaponics. I'm hoping to start out small with an indoor system. My major hurdle is capital, I basically have none, plus I think I would enjoy just making a system from scrap/salvage.

    My first system was a wheelie bin with a tub of gravel on top of it.

    Welcome djavenson
    where there's a will there's a way. Take your time and plan it out, and I bet you can find a lot of what you need cheap.
