Has anybody heard of a combo fishery (RAS Recirculation aquaculture systems) and Aquaphonics to be used for hydro, thinking about it for a bit now and wondering if its possible..... RAS will be comercial grade, picked for closest crop (tomatoes?).

Wouldnt nutrients for your plants kill the fish?

as i understand it aquaponics uses only the fishes waste as the nutrients for the plants. there is no additional nutrients added to the water. fish feed that is not consumed will also add nutrients to the water as most fish feed is made with fish meal and kelp.

yes but im sure you can add to it before the plants by auto feeder and then filter after plants to recirculate back in if additional additives are needed.. will this be functional? can they grow well on this?

do a search for aquaponics, theres a thread about this already there is a huge aquaponics farm picture that raises coi fish and alot of veggies.
