Back to Aquaponics

After spending the weekend researching and collecting supplies I have diagramed my proposed system for aquaponics.

I will be tracking ph, light, temp, and humidity of the plants. I decided to leverage some of the findings from the window Farms project, while integrating a natural source of nutrients. My hope is to track and visualize data on the web in addition to attempting to create a system which will regulate itself.

Here is an image of the proposed system, and the location of that system in my house:

    Feedback….

    How will the light sensor and temp sensor work for the system?
    * Leif knows of a moisture sensor which could counteract the need for these two sensors.

    What will be done about the oxygen levels for fish at night?

    Is this a system or a product?

    Create a document or timeline for how and when each part of this project will be completed in a way to realize the tasks that need to be completed as well as understanding the ‘unknown’?

    What is the scale of the object? Is is something I can carry around?

    This is not the same as your system but can be an example of prior art:
