Yes, I have, I do, and I will. We have an aquaponic salad garden growing at this time.

My husband bought me a mini hydroponic garden setup for my kitchen. Herbs and spinach are growing as I type this.

He was inspired by it and started an aquaponic garden with his fish tank. I told him if it doesn't taste fishy, I will try it.

I think it's a cool idea. I lived next to someone in Florida who grew tomatoes that way, but not sure I ever tasted one.

We have a local hydroponic farmer who grows vertical hydroponic gardens - it's quite an impressive setup and maximizes the yield from within his greenhouses.

We were amazed when we visited the hydroponic exhibition at Disney World. I see when I googled just now, they added aquaponics too.

Hi,
I love the idea of aquaponics and I am willing to make one into my apartment.
I had my hobby farm and now I have been moved to Canada and I want to make a small project like this image.

It will be my first time doing this and I need help!
I need to now the size of the aquarium, the side of the bed, what pump I should use, filter or not, plans of the project with details (for the pumps, the tubes e.t.c.) how many fishes and all these details.

Can you help me on that? That image dhows what exactly I want to make!

Thank you very much i advance for your help!!!

We went to a local nursery there and learned about it and watched tons of youtube videos. I would start at your local nursery that has hydroponic supplies and google for the videos using diy hydroponics etc.

It's a LOT of info out there but it's there.
