My mate who is a Science teacher over here and has helped his school win
 numerous national awards, recommends this system is less time-consuming,cheaper(less Chems) and more efficient.

Aquaponics

From Wikipedia


 The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic.
Aquaponics /ˈækwəˈpɒnɨks/, is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.

He's not a member here, so when I next see him, Ill ask him if I can give you his phone number (by PM) so you two can have a chat about it.
He's a very nice and clever guy and one of the awards they won was for solar power initiatives too.
