Does anyone know why I shouldn't put a raft directly on top of an aquarium? I think you would need to ensure a good air stone with pump, but you wouldn't need a water pump. Perhaps the fish would eat the roots of the plants?

From what I've read it's because the solids are present in the tank and can attach to the roots causing growth problems and disease in the plant roots. If you have a sufficient method of removing the solids then you shouldn't have a problem. I've seen many models working just fine on top of a fish tank so it can work if you monitor the waste.
