  • You might want to consider replacing your goldfish with tilapia, which, though they may require some heat in the water during winter, grow to eating size (1.5 lbs) in about 7 months, so you can grow edible fish along with your fruits and vegies and make the entire system more productive.

  • wish I could find a breeding pair of tilapia!

  • Extremely cool grow system. That would be so awesome to have fresh herbs and spices all the time or to be able to grow some greens year round.

    Thanks for the video.

  • I hope to replace the goldfish with something I can eat. Talipa?

  • Shrimp? That would be really cooool. How 'bout crawdads?

  • I have thought about shrimp.

  • Malaysian prawns would be great. I viited Joe thompson at Thompson Prawn farm in NC. He was amazing and very inspirational. I am now trying to decide what will go on my 4 acre mini farm. I will maximize the use of the entire property over the years. Not knocking warehouses because they are going to take the food industry to a whole new era. I just can't build one yet. You have got the right idea Zenoptic.

  • the floating stuffs, reminds me over the ancient aztecs trick in aquaponics. lol. never thought it can be used again. thanks, inspiring.

  • I recently found a local asian mega grocery that had a fish and seafood section where they have live fish (and lobsters, crabs and mollusks) where I can buy full sized live tilapia. This may also be a decent option to help aquaponics enthusiasts get started.

  • man you gotta switch to tilapia and you can gradually increase the number as the plants mature.

    You could also try a compost pile in order to cut down on a heater.

  • nice setup

    DOG RULES!

  • Oh nice video and love ya dog.

  • If the medium used for the lettice is rock wool then it is over watered and has been watered from the top so if it is then tip is to water from bottom (won't go green as alge is then going to fight for nutes and throw the nutes out of balance) and less water so the rock wool stays light in colour not dark like in video.

  • Do a search. I found some on eBay. I've tried posting a link but I guess youtube blocks URLs
