Today, I decided to make the leap from aerogarden to aquaponics.
Using an old styrofoam cooler I traced a pattern using the medium cups.
In hind site, I should have left the lid in tact and floated it on the aquarium. I ended up having to use tooth picks to add a bit more buoyancy to my float.
I found a local hydroponics store in Vero and purchased the medium cups and the clay balls I needed.
Now to transplant these poor buggers.
Almost done.
Ready to float my raft.
TA DA!
View from below. Fishies seem to like it. The plants are sitting a little low in the water so again I used tooth picks to pull them up out of the water a bit.
For light I am using my hubby's photography light set using a regular light bulb.
Now we wait and see...... Next installment Aquaponics Project.
