Default Aquaponics - anyone tried this?

Hi everyone

First it was a worm farm and veggie patch, then we got chickens and now DH is building an aquaponics set up.

All we need is a cow and we're good to go

Has anyone tried aquaponics?
Any tips?
What fish would you recommend?

DH has a few books and is going on a short uni course to get some basic skills. He's looking to invest about $2000 so I hope it works out!

Cheers

Oooh, I want to give it a go, but I kill all my veggies so well that I've put it off... Have you looked at the Backyard Aquaponics forum and site yet? Ooodles of info!

Enjoy!

Hi Mel

Good for you! We started exactly the samke way... but are a bit behind you! We just got chooks, which I am loving (apart from poor icecream dying :( ).

Anyway, I have a spot in my mind for the aquaculture pond n would love to know how DH finds the short Uni course and the details if pos?

Best of luck!
