I found out about aquaponics in March and started the same day in a few plastic containers

and worked my way up to a hot tub in July for a fish tank.

I grew strawberries and lettuce at first and then moved to jalapenos and tomatoes for the summer and back to lettuce for the fall. I just built a new swirl filter for the system.

and I built a sand filter to try to clear up some of the water clarity.

There is many more details to the progress of the garden over the last 6 months but I wanted to keep it short for now.
