Has anyone successfully created an aquaponic gardening system? If so, how did you create yours?

Dave started a thread in the permaculture forum about this:
The thread "Aquaponics" in Permaculture forum

You can find a few of my pictures of a system I was using at the time in there. I've done various aquaponic systems, using floating rafts, flooded media, flood and drain both timed and siphon-regulated, vertical towers, dutch buckets, nutrient film (NFT) and shallow wicking. I've used tilapia, koi, goldfish and others as aquatic livestock. I've been diverting fish water for plant growth for twenty years, but it's only been in the last twelve or so that I've been returning the water back to the fish afterwards. It seems like most hydroponic equipment and methods can be adapted to aquaponics, but some of it requires a lot of filtration to keep sediment from clogging things up. I don't think NFT or the aeroponic methods are well-suited to aquaponics, but some people disagree with me.

This is an aquaponic system as well:

The NFT information says its not recommended for beginners so I dont think i will use that. And, thanks for the information i will check out the page now

Yes I do,
I use flood and drain aquaponics, working great.

I love it and it brings an amazing look to the backyard

Wow, that's nicer looking than anything I've ever put together.

Thanks Psa, for me the aesthetic is as important as the efficiency of the system :)
Here are more details on my system. I hope you like it :)
