I saw this type of setup (aquaponics/hydroponics) at the ADM Raingardens
facitily in Decatur, IL this summer when I was given a tour of their 10
acre facility.
Also there is a place here in Amherst, MA that I have been given a tour of,
called Bioshelter. Needless to say ADM was much more impressive, but from
such a large company, you can only expect the best.
ADM had 5 acres of lettuce and cukes. They also had 5 acres of fish, and
then used the fish-poop as fertilizer in basil, mint, and other herb
production.
