Granny's gone and done it again

Has anyone here besides me tried hydroponics or aquaponics?
I have live plants in my tanks to absorb nitrates and some in the hang on back filter. Ferts for the plants and cleaner water for the fish. Does that count ?
 
Oops, here he is.

This is George, my young Black Jersey Giant, next to one of my year-old EE hens last night. He matured rather slowly compared to the Black Australorp cockerels I got at the same time (who are all now in the freezer) but he is getting some nice size to him now. I just love him. He's calm and well-behaved. I think he's about 30 weeks old. The older rooster keeps him in line but he is breeding some of the hens and pullets.
Where where, I don't see nuffin'!

Exactly what aquaponics is based on. I have cement mixing tubs I use for hydroponics.. I learned how to make a bell siphon which is pretty easy.. Next step is just putting some goldie fish in the tub below the plant tubs. I'll have to build a new rack since I left the old one at the last place.
 
Beautifuls!
Here's Bruiser with Mable. I saw him and Charlie Sheen having a discussion today. Charlie was bragging about his beautiful tail, while Bruiser was saying he had a nicer comb and wattles. LOL Bruiser's tail feathers are finally coming in.
