Heres a pic of the living wall at my college. Im taking the fish and wildlife technician program and have almost completed common semester. I love it. jealous MFK?
the pic is in my next post.
 
theres a wastewater treatment facility where the water in a koi pond is circulated through a simulated bog and some plant life then into a holding pond where its supposed to be drinkable. this is pumped back into the koi pond and the cycle continues its been running for about 12 yrs. but my favorite is the living wall. four 120gals at the base and water is pumped to the top of planted lava rock and runs back down to the tanks. the fish waste is what feeds the plants, they haven't stocked the tanks yet i believe they are cycling , the wall is faily new.

With that many plants, there is, likely, no need for cycling, as the plants will absorb the ammonia very quickly.
 
Wow that's really neat! Are they using metal hallide for the plants?

Maybe you could suggest some stocking ideas for monsters?

i hope thats what ill be doing next semester :) . the muskellunge rearing tanks have all been emptied into lakes for population rehab. they would have been fun until they out grew the tanks.
