Wiki has knowledge but not questions which can make answers harder to find when all you have to enter into a search is the question. If someone else has asked the question your searching then the answer pops right up but if not then you would need to refine your search or read about large amounts of unrelated info to get the specific bit you want. Having knowledge referenced by questions about that knowledge makes that information more available to the masses.

Ants probably cleaned it up for you

You can do this on a small scale with a 20 gallon on a counter and do herbs for a kitchen to start. You can have both a really nice looking aquarium and free fresh herbs!

Oh the fish mostly handle that. Iv got a couple gold fish in the system that manage any smaller bugs.
Theres an aquaponics magazine though its not super active.

Bunching onions, a squash, and watercress for now. The tanks have fish and the water gets passed though the gravel grow bed which filters the water and gives a place for bacteria to grow and thrive which keeps the water clean for the fish. The plants consume any nitrates left over after the bacteria do their job and everyone wins!

My friend left town for a week right after release and let me borrow his playstation so I bought mgs4 and played it non stop till he got back. I haven't had a chance to play again sence then and am looking forward to it.

That actually makes sense. Legit the reddit style voting system was often just mindless dopamine button pressing where just interacting in the group vote was enough to give you yours but not really encouraging anything beyond that. Iv been sitting here kinda missing it on squabble and now im more ok without.

Me, I wanna buy a new one! Was planning on getting my friends one for a gift soon too. Those things are super handy.

 

This is an album of the current state of my system.
Iv got 2 icbs setup with 1 in ground as the sump and 1 above as the tank. Only 1 grow bed for now as its being cycled without fish until they are out of quarantine. The grow bed is an old metal bed frame with icb top that iv got between the 2 tanks with some wood legs iv added for extra support. Im using a mix between red lava rock and pea gravel. Iv also got a couple coco coir\straw filters setup to help with ph and bacteria. The aquarium iv got setup is a 75 gallon tank and a 50 gallon barrel with a water bridge between them and its got 2 sizes of brown bullhead catfish in it. The 2 large ones in the 75 gallon and 11 smaller ones in the barrel. They are wild caught so iv been doing a parasite treatment course on them before adding them to my main tank. They have started eatting pellets and all seem to have recovered from any wounds gotten when being caught. Im really hoping I can get the 2 big ones to mate assuming im right in the genders
