Ok, i thinking that interesting for someone and i open the new toppic 
There we can debate aboute all different stile of aquaponics… some ideas? 
I think look at that guy 
Yeah I tried it once with my friend 
Just the same way as this guy. I have got a big pond in my garden with plants and many fish inside but there was still too little nutrients than required 
So the plant lived but didnt grow at all. Wastn even green as much. and I couldnt get nutrients in 10000 galons of water

I have seen it done with the same results you had. Wasn’t enough food available.
What about in a small man made pond, more or less a big reservoir.
I say for me it’s a greed or just a unknowledge and happines :)… I start 5 years ago with goals to build a 80m2 aquaponics system with many plants and fish, but that is not that simple! 2 mounts ago i made it and finally start it I have really good time with my plants and fish but here is the problem, very similar than you have too little nutrents… I just want to say that really important if you a beginners you start with small sistem till you become the master of your small system. It’s better for your wallet
Have a good time!

And yes! If you have roots in a fish tank, you must protect them with some kind of network or plastic box. I tried it in aquarium aquaponics… i show you latter

it doesnt work that well expensive to correct difeciencies with stuff that wont kill fish
learned a ton of chemistry though
and its awesome for not fruiting/flowering plants other than the calcium def…
i believe it works best in combination with other systems bioponics incorporated beds of medium with worms composting ebb flood tables dwc it can work just need to experiment and its fun anyway keep it small use recycled materials all that you know
