You don't have any monster fish to feed? :naughty:
Not at the moment. I sold off all of my freshwater tanks and my CA cichlids
and am now concentrating on my 180 gallon reef system.
I do miss my cichlids and I am sure I will get back into them eventually

your growing veggies out of a aquarium??
In just one month you see what happens right? This is an ancient practice and something i have always wanted to do. they have larger set ups as well for this and people use tilapia or other fish that you can eat as well at the end of the year. nature at its best. :thumbsup: to you joe!
 
Australia dose a lot with the Tilapia and a few colleges in the US are messing with it
Its a fun and easy project for the back yard
I have also been been hand watering the regular garden with my daily water changes
plants are thriving
 
July Update
things have been growing great until last night something climbed up and ate almost all my lettuce. I have no idea what. it had to climb up 3 feet from the ground to get to the grow bed. It cant be a rabbit at least I have never seen one climb before, I checked very carefully for insects and found none. I am stumped.it pisses me off because the lettuce was ready to harvest. I am going to remove the roots and plant again I should have enough time for another crop
 
That sucks! Good luck with the next batch. You don't think a neighbor might have come over and stole it, do you? Do you have deer in your area? That would be a chest height buffet for them...
