Homegrown strawberries taste sweeter when you don't have to remember to water them. This time I setup a small, cube ecosystem using an old, used aquarium I found for free on Marketplace. After ripping out the factory filter, I let it develop its own biological one, complete with aquaponic strawberries.

Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
Happy to answer questions in the comments :)
