Hey all,

I'm interested in getting my feet wet in home aquaponics, but I as a grad student, I am both space- and cash-poor. I'm looking to set up a really basic science-fair style system that will fit in my studio apartment with a gravel bed on top of a small tank of goldfish, and writing a blog and/or article about my experiences (as you can see from the handle, I'm also a reporter, and a somewhat mechanically challenged one at that). Any tips? I've been working on an article about large-scale aquaponics here in Chicago, so I understand the theory, but if someone could walk me through what I need to get a small system up and running, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks very much!
