Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I've been cruising the internet for greenhouse kits and I stumbled on this hydroponic set up. Does this look like it could be used for aquaponics? I don't think I'd order one from them, but I'm interested in the design.

Toward the end of the description it reads: "May also be used for aquaponics (the cultivation of plants and fish)."

Sorry had a problem with the edit button:

Looks like it'll work for a shelf type AP system but the bottom "tank" looks a bit shallow for fish. For the price I wonder if you'd be better off with another kit or building your own.

In principle, design and cost... it actually looks better than many of the other recent dinky-di hydro add-on... or "farm in a box" type systems that seem to have recently invaded the "aquaponics" market...

Not sure about some of the practicality of the design when it comes to harvest/planting etc...

I think you can do better on price,

their listed prices on hoop houses are quite a bit over others I have seen, and they are one layer of plastic not two.

Its an interesting site though.
