Has anyone tried aquaponics (aquaculture + hydroponics)? ie., use aquarium water to raise edible plants? I read that leafy greens are possible with aquarium water, but there would not be enough nutrients for the likes to tomatos.

Just wondering if anyone has given this a try. I'm thinking about plumbing my koi and goldfish pond to grow some edibles.

Thanks

I don't see why it would not work.
Water with nutrients should be good for your farm

Hi,
I've tried putting Limnophila aromatica to herb up my spicy beef salad. Taste weird, but I didn't get sick.

I'd be careful. A lot of the products used in aquariums are not good for you and not intended for food.
