Fred Pinkney said… Thanks Max. Just starting out with a small system in my lab at US Fish and Wildlife; Space is limited to about 4 ft by 8 feet so my plan is to build on top of a 4 x 8 Aquatic Ecosystems tank following Sylvia's book recommendations which I just ordered. Saw your bio and realize that you have lots of experience. Best wishes,
Fred :D

Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics. There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to get in there and start asking questions. Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic.
A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Main page. You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.

Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.
