Aquaponics is a melding of Aquaculture & Hydroponics........ so you raise fish for consumption or sale and the waste product from the fish goes into growing veggies :)

I thought it would be cool to raise fish & veggies all year round.

Well......... the waste that is in the water is pumped throw a hydropnic system were the plants absorb the nutrients and clean the water which is recirculated back to the fish.

Damn, this is pretty cool... Text

"With about 15 minutes of daily maintenance per day, an aquaponic system can provide fresh fish and vegetables year-round."

You're still a filthy hippy! :p

My dad uses the water in the coy pond to water the veggie plants. The plants aren't grow in hydroponics and the fishies are just for aesthetics, but the veggies sure as hell look as if they were on growth hormones :D
