Seedlings in My Mini Aquaponic System

Correction: Aquaponics not hydroponics!

My aquaponic system is now up and running with seedlings in a bed of perlite: garden beans, sugar snap peas, tomato, bell peppers, variety of lettuces, oranges, lentils, etc. All the seedlings just moved into the perlite bed 2 days ago. The mint and basil cuttings were taken yesterday.

Water from the fish tank is pumped up into the first perlite bed which drains into the second perlite bed. From there, it is then siphoned out back into the fish tank. Fish include two 5 inch goldfish and 4 feeder size goldfish. The water is then cycled all over again 24 hours a day. The set up is outside in natural sunlight.
