I first heard about aquaponics when reading about a farm in Missouri, near where I lived. They don't mix the fish and plants, but use the fish water to irrigate the hydro system. Here's their site:
S & S Aqua Farm Bioponics System Good luck with your beta testing.

Freakin' crazy man... I definitely want to do something like this, having that as a seed starter is great. Perhaps just a tad bigger so I can fit 3-4 fish.

UPDATE So I am pretty amazed by the whole thing... doing a lot of reading on edible fish culture... all very very interesting...  I wanted a bit more room, so I went out and got a second 1 gallon tank... and a second beta... I promptly named him Beta Beta...I figured that they could use some company (or dinner, depending on their temperament), so I also brought home a pair of Bamboo Shrimp...  So far, there have been a few nips here and there, but I think thei will be ok... and just stay out of each other's way (if that is actually possible in a 1 gallon tank)...  No names for the shrimp yet, I want to make sure they will not end up inside Alpha or Beta before I call them residents instead of food...  They are really cool and should help a lot with the clean up job... They have these special "filtering claws" that strain the water as it flows by... it's really neat to watch them eat...   ...One of them has figured out that he can hang out upside down on the foam pods, amongst the roots... so cool .... lol...Alpha's tank has 2 bagseedlings, 2 attempt rescues from a failed clone, chives starting to sprout, peppermint starting to sprout, and 2 unknowns starting as well... (the unknowns are "kitchen" herbs, but unidentified) Beta's tank got a seed hatcher, where I placed 3 "Juicy Fruit" seeds and 3 "White Widow" seeds... (you know who you are, THANK YOU for the seeds... they will be well cared for)..I made one big base and cut six "pods" out, in a way that I can slide them back in... you'll see the pics...Oh, I also switched some of the water in Alpha's tank today... using the "fish water" to replenish the Mini Aeroponic Garden (after double checking the PH) and the other veggies in the DWC bubbler (see previous pics)...  We'll see how that works... Ok... enough talk... here are some pictures for your entertainment... Take care... Gypsy... "You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." - A. Einstein

Well here we are again...
A few more pictures... And I should say that as a seed germinator, the water farm is great... In less than 24 hours all 3 Juicy Fruit and all 3 White Widow seeds have cracked open and the tap roots are sticking out... As roots establish, I keep moving things to the next step, the mini DWC... Alpha is doing well and loves displaying for Beta... who in turn prances back and forth as if in high heels... lol I keep a white paper in between the cages, but I let them at it once in a while... it's good exercise and after they work out their aggression and get tired they are usually pretty mellow... which the shrimp love... Speaking of Shrimp, Bam & Boo have very different personalities... Bam is always out, swims around and even chases Alpha around sometimes... constantly feeding, has has acquired this orangish brown color... Boo on the other hand, is very reclusive... always under one of the ornaments... never out when the lights are on... I usually see Boo when I wake up in the middle of the night and turn a light on... I'll see this flash darting across the tank, headed for cover under the ornament... A bit more on the yellow tone, I have wondered if I have a male and female...???? Well ... tell me what you think...           Cheers... Gypsy...

But the fish are carinivorous, and the shrimp only eat the dead roots after a couple of chemical reactions have happened... plants are safe...!!! LOL Thanks for stopping by guys... The doors are always open... Gypsy...
