Due to my climate not being particularly suited for plants I use frequently I've been toying with the idea of aquaponics. Through looking around different informational sites I've gotten the basic idea of how it works, but can't seem to dredge up a "how to" description of setting it up. More importantly, setting up on a budget. I've heard it can be done relatively cheaply with materials from Lowes.
Anyone have experience with it and have tips/tricks/warnings for getting the system put together? Is there a preferred fish or would basic koi be sufficient? How do you set up the seeds? What material works best for the filter area? Is there a specific light needed like in hydroponics or is it just incandescent bulbs for heat? Can a hydroponics kit be converted to aquaponics?
