How advanced has aquaponics gotten?

Answer 1

When we speak of advances is aquaponics, we are actually talking about more than one thing. In the 1970's England introduce us to the nutrient film technique. This was an advancement with the way plants are actually fed. Today, the big experiments trying to advance how plants are fed center around which growing media works best, whether or not to use wicking in tower grow systems, and whether to use towers or not. On the fish end of the system, the days of the bulky, stands and pumps everywhere, may have come to an end. Not long ago I got a quote on a completely enclosed tank and filtering system. The tank actually looks like an aquarium of sorts. The advancement may change the industry.
