Aquaponics FTW!

Awesome. DIY is fun, because it allows you to better understand the CO2 process.
It also is very unstable, so DIY is a great gateway into pressurized. You will enjoy a high tech setup more after going through a lower tech. Best of luck, looks like fun, I remember doing very similar things not long ago.

Got the co2 hooked up now we play the waiting game. The spray bar must off got a little air in it because it went off all crazy that's why there are a bunch of bubbles.

Well, patience.
It's been less than two weeks so... What can we say? Plants look very healthy, I'm glad you have done this effort to get it Running nice. Never give up!! How are your fish doing? When are you going to plant more? I've seen awesome RAOKs giving away tons of good plants. Have you tried to get free plants from the forum?

I'm ordering some plants tonight from a guy on here. My fish are good but I'm trading them for some neon tetras this weekend. So next week i will have a bunch of plants ready to be planted.

What you think about this stocking list. I already have 6 neons and 1 betta.

I would skip the betta and go with a more peaceful interesting fish. Maybe a smaller school of neos and another school of ottos? That way you have middle and bottom feeders at least.
Maybe: 14 neos (+6) = 20 middle feeders This batch first 6 ottos bottom/algae feeders second batch 6 marble hatch fish top feeders 3rd batch All of them at once will be too much IMO for your tank. You may expect a big ammonia spike and a mini cycle.
