Sort of but more complicated..... a hydroponic system and aquaculture system
all linked, so that the fish water flowed through the hydroponic gravel, the
plants removed the poo etc then the now-purified water was pumped back in to
the fish. There was beneficial bacteria involved, in the gravel I believe,
and he was working on growing his own pond weed to use as fish food, so that
it would be completely self sufficient. DH got all inspired and wants to do
it now :)

Hmm, yes it does sound very complicated but it sounds very efficient -
if it all ran as it should. I suppose then the poo-ridden extra waste
could be used again to grow more even more plants. More fish... a real
cycle alright.

i saw that doco' can't remember what they called it if they even
called it anything at all, but put simply it marries aquaculture to
hydroponics, shouldn't be too complicated once you have and idea what
is required in both cultures then link them.

Aquaponics I think....:p Once you got everything balanced and had the
bacteria colonies established it *should* run like clockwork. Well, that's
the theory....

Yes. the guy said it took a little while to get the balance right, but it
looked efficient once it was set up.
