Aquaponics is similar to hydroponics, but makes use of fish to create fertilizer-rich (fish waste π©) water for the plants to thrive. In turn, the plants help clean the water for the fish.
You can put the pumps and fish feeders on a timer to automate them, and even use fish types people eat for fish farming.
My only ask is that you remember to make the tank nice for the fish. A stressed fish is a dead fish, and way too many aquaponic users just throw a bunch of fish in an empty(no stimulation) and overcrowded tank.
