You can grow many vegetables inside your aquarium with a small-scale aquaponics unit easily and inexpensively. There are no water pumps, no risk of overflow, no noise, and it is attractive. The waste produced from feeding your fish nourishes your vegetables and other plants. At the same time, your fish tank water is being cleaned. The need for water changes will dramatically decrease. Plants that can be grown directly in the water (or in a floating raft aquaponics system) are lettuce, spinach, kale, cilantro, basil, and many other herbs and vegetables. I will post other videos that go into planting seedlings, water conditioning, and other safety issues. These will cover a variety of issues to consider, but be sure to read up on aquaponics safety before you start. There are many factors to consider that I won't cover. What I present is not a comprehensive tutorial on aquarium aquaponics. But with a little knowledge and patience, you can grow a variety of vegetables indoors throughout the year. If you have any tips about aquaponics, please post these in the comments section. Any indoor vegetable growing ideas are greatly appreciated.
