Solstice_Lacer Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I was thinking about trying some mini cucumbers hanging over the side of my tank. Anyone have experience growing veggies from your tanks? I know aquaponics is a thing, but I don't see it overlap with more traditional planted display tanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAB Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 you will have a hard time having enough waste in a reasonable sized aquarium.( think gallons in the triple digits). can it be done? sure. you would have to have a constant drip of ferts and it would be a very tight balancing act between killing your fish and growing your plants. the smallest aquaponics i saw that was maintainable and produced enough food to even produce a salad was around 1000 gallon system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
