I was wondering if anybody has ever tried this.

Basically you have a large liquid resovoir pumping nitrate rich water through a hydroponic plant setup. I have seen it briefly on tv but I dont know what is needed for such a set up.

An Internet search for "aquaponics" will yield lots of results. This site seems to be pretty good.

I haven't tried aquaponics yet, but it is something that i have been looking at a bit over the last few weeks.

If you do set something up let me know how it goes.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Not as such, but I have a friend who does something similar with her barracks sump. Kind of a similar idea, just backwards.

A visiting tech at our work showed me a link to hydro setups being used, the source of nutrients were coming from tilapia in barrels. I'm not sure if I saved a shorcut on my pc there but I'll take a look.
