chopper Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Quite interesting,cheers! Unfortunately the only fish you can keep in a hydro system in nz are goldfish. I suppose If you have a heated greenhouse though you could keep pacu with the hydro that would be cool, their waste would be awesome plant fertilizer when they are fully grown.

GrahamC Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It looks like the Berrysmith foundation contracted Massey to design a home aquaponics system for indoor use. The report and plans are here http://210.48.94.12/~admin176/pdf/2009Mini-AquaponicsSystemforHomeUse.pdf and the design is not copyrighted. So, presumably an open source design.
