Hi and welcome ..

I can only suggest that you start by hanging around this site for a.time, reading peoples posts and problems and come to understand some of the issues..

On the very top of the Home Page at the right ... The IBCs of Aquaponics.... study that for some suggestions..

It IS practical to sepparate the growing of fish and the plants, by removing all the waste solids and processing them to produce nutrients to feed a Hydroponics System.
