Aquaponics update


Another update, things are coming along well.  I haven't had any fish deaths since I last posted, The plants are growing although I am fearing that my kitchen might be too cold, I am getting some yellowing of the plants but I am not sure if that is just the light or what.  The basil seems to be thriving if you look below, they are green and healthy.


The garlic is looking ok this was a last minute thing.  The garlic had sprouted because I didn't use it up, and I figured why not just throw it in and see what will happen.  It looks like it is doing well, I have only had it in for about a week and it has doubled in size. 


I am pretty sure that this is cilantro and you can see it is just yellowing slightly but I think it might be the light. They have been growing at a pretty fast rate so I don't see how they can be that unhealthy...


Here is another shot of the basil, looks like it is growing.  I am not sure what I am going to do, I have a ton of basil growing, and almost nothing else.  The two cilantro plants that sprouted appear to be the only ones.  I have  most seeds sprouting in another setup, but for some reason I always forget to take pictures of it.


Another shot of the cilantro, this one shows the yellowing much better.  Tonight I am going to test the water and see if there is anything causing issues there.  Below I have posted a video of the set up, but it is taking with my digital camera, the quality isn't the best but soon there will be a video detailing how to build an aquaponics set up in your own house!
