Aquaponics, The Perfect System For Us

We are ooking for the most simple and practical way to set up a aquaponic system with a fish tank and some gravel. Aquaponics is very interesting to me. Even my husband is interested in it for the fish.  HE LOVES TILAPIA.  And from what we have read Tilapia is an easy fish to raise in this type of system.

I've seen some elaborate systems that were very efficient looking but would not work for me or my budget.

My idea aquaponic system would be  a large enough fish tank to sit in front of my sliding door and have a simple fish tank filter and drain pump. I would use the fish water to nourish the plants that would sit on  top of the tank getting it's light from natural and artificial light sources. That's it!
