What kinds of aquaponics systems are there?
There are all kinds of aquaponics systems out there. It is important to be able to discern which is which: Experimental systems: Useful experimental systems are put together with best current knowledge of aquaponics technology using established scientific methods to investigate a new idea. If the hypothesis being investigated in the experiment proves out by improving production and efficiency, or lowers the cost of a system, it is no longer an experimental system, but a successful next-generation system. If the experimenter is not using current knowledge and good scientific procedure, you may have a voodoo system, not an experimental system. Hobby Systems: A system built and operated with no requirement for financial return is a hobby system. Even if you want a hobby system rather than a commercial one, being well-informed about aquaponics will ensure that you have a good hobby system that is fun to own and operate, rather than a money-sucking, bad-smelling, backyard disaster on your h
