you are probably thinking of vermiculite. People are doing floating rafts, it has double benefit of shading the tank. You could just put holes in polystyrene with an apple corer and not have any medium at all, ie no net pots required. |

fishie, vermiculite in particular and perlite to some lesser degree and reknown for their ability to retain moisture... combined with being placed into the tank I think would result in far too much saturation and root rot... Both media are best used with "drip" type systems, or as others are trialling here, at least flood and drain |

I have tried with floating raft with gravel & filterwool in a shadecloth net. so far I don't rate it. The lettuce is doing very poorly, the strawberries & pumpkins didn't seed. The eggplant did, which was transplanted the other day. But I should try with something better than the gravel with filterwool. |

Sorry Fp, took "anyone actualy commercialy do a floating aquaponics basket type system" to mean you were looking at commercial operations... In fact what you are wondering is does anyone sell an aquaponics kit correct??? |

Hey fishperson, No, no company sells backyard aquaponic systems right at this very moment.. But I have been testing a small system for a while now that will be available within the next month or two as a kit system for backyard production. Stay tuned.....
