Hi. I noticed I don't have access to post in the for sale forum so I thought I'd introduce myself so hopefully receive access soon. I'm Jared. I haven't messed with saltwater in a good number of years. What I do mostly is aquaponics - where you raise fish and use the nitrates from their waste as a plant fertilizer to grow veggies. To me, aquaponics is revolutionary. I believe it will change they way we produce food in the near future. Something I have been working on lately is getting small demonstrational systems designed for schools. This brings a learning aid for the teachers right in their own classrooms. Kids get to experience organic gardening first hand. They also get to learn about all the science involved in an aquaponcs ecosystem - fish, microorganisms like bacteria, and plants. Even though I mostly do freshwater stuff, I am here on the saltwater forums because I use a lot of the same equipment as saltwater aquarists. I use sumps, and drilled tanks as opposed to most freshwater setups. Thanks! Jared

Hi all, I need a hole cut tonight in my 29 gallon tank. Any takers? I am donating an aquaponics system for an elementary school so that kids can learn about fish, plants, and micro-organisms like bacteria. If you have a glass hole saw kit and a willingness to drill my tank, please let me know. I would love to install this system for the kiddos tomorrow morning. If you can do this at a reasonable rate or free, that would be super because I'm on a tight budget.
