Thanks Hollohaus. Someone else was recently giving me some insight to lighting. I just took the lazy way and used an Aerogarden lamp. I also had the light way too high above the plants, and probably still do.

I originally built my aquaponic set-up just to prove to myself that I could do it. It more or less works, and has been since my last post in here. However, now I have a single, large (I think) jalopeno plant that is not flowering because I've paid attention to nothing but getting the siphon to work consistently.

I've been thinking about where/how I could dedicate the space to build a more complete system. Thinking about my heated garage.
