While we are intending to utilize the 'fish poop water' fertilizer, the plant growing system is not true hydroponics. The technique is to place plants potted in soil in the shallow flow of the aquaponics water allowing the plant roots to be watered from below but not submerged - the plants will not be gaining all of their nutrition from the water, and the fish (actually our intended species is shrimp) will not be much impacted by plant nutrients.

Plants for combining with aquaponics.

Of course it is an experiment for us, and we expect to learn as we go.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
