Downgraded system after move, 3 fish survived the previous system, and now only 2 remain after the revamp of this new MINI system. Plants soon to be added to the grow bed and sprouting bed. Considering 2 of the following, Chives, Rosemary, Thyme, Sprouts, or Oregano.

Organic Gardener's Handbook

Recently purchased this book in hopes of finding ways to control diseases and pest insects in aquaponics systems. This book has several photos and descriptions of typical pests and diseases. I figured it would be a good initial investment into the hobby of aquaponic gardening, which inherently should be organic.

Overgrowth... the tomato plants have taken over the mini green house and began pushing their way out of the enclosure. I have decided to leave it open on the side show. The Tomato plants are flowering and beginning to produce fruit. This photo was taken with my mobile phone.

*Close-up of the tomato producing fruit, it is the same spot in the previous photos of the flowering tomato plant.

Growth of the Aquaponic Green House has surpassed any expectations with such little care. The enclosure has become too small.

This is a bird's eye view above the aquaponics garden, you can see the impromptu grid system I built with some bamboo support sticks and left over pvc pieces that I cut into collars. The grid is using itself as support - the end pieces that run horizontally are pushing up by just weaving them over under with the vertical end pieces under the pvc frame.
