Question by Dinky Willard: Has anyone here had any experience with aquaponics? Does it really work as well as they say?
I heard that the fish produce alot of ammonia in their excrement over time- do the plants clean this up? I just saw a video about it on Youtube, and I thought it looked really neat.
So………opinions?

  1. My son has three firebellied toads in an aquarium. Although it does have a filter, we also keep two rock sponges with Baltic Ivy growing on them. These seeme to keep the water pretty clear.

    Google HYDROponics in lieu of AQUAponics. It will pull up a load more results.

    Most pot growers use hydroponics to get the best result. Since each plant has a very, VERY high value, I trust they would choose the method that generates the best results. I am certainly not endorsing the use of Marijuana, however. Just saying that the people who have the most invested in a plant are the ones who will spare little expense to get the best outcome. The maryjane growers fit this bill.
