So, I am going to create a 1-2 level aquaponic farm with some really small unedible fish- like the ones at the pet store. I guess I will feel bad about giving them away later, but I need to fix up a smaller module to make sure that my parts are right. Basically it will have a 30 gallon tank for the beginning, a ph sensor and possibly some other chemical sensors.(Have to check exactly what I need) I bought the parts yesterday, and am going to the local Home Depot(again) because I forgot about the wall adapters for the pump. (Shopping at ten PM is really tiring xD). I will use a relay to control the pump(130 gallons per hour), but as far as I can see, I won't use any huge electronically guzzling parts, since I will skip the solar panel/LED parts in this model for the sake of getting started and not waiting for parts to arrive. I am thinking about using a siphon for the return water trip and working on a fish feeder following the same format as my previous balance method. Just tested the pump and figured it worked with some pretty hilarious resorts, which means I have to clean up the bathroom mirror now 
. Pictures to arrive soon as I can get the pump set up. I will be buying hydroton media and start working on a bacterial filter later... (As a sidenote just using hydroton for now probably will scratch that out later). If I can get enough time today, I will try to take pictures and maybe figure out how to use a doodle program to paste a design picture. Now that I know what type of plant I will use, I will start building. I might have to make the module with an arduino, but I hope I can figure out relay modules in SS by then.
