i have a 10 gallon tank with 9 adult mollies and 3 baby’s and im looking to start a Aquaponics System using the mollies im going to have a grow bed above the tank with a drip system i plan on growing peppers and tomatoes any info would be great
im not going to use dirt im using hydroton grow medium
Not a good idea at all, any soil you buy from a store will have some sort of fertilizer in it and fertilizer is VERY toxic to fish. Also, it would be impossible to keep the tank cycled properly with new water constantly coming through. The fish will not live for so many reasons. Same yourself the time, money and disappointment… Fish keeping and gardening are two hobby’s best kept separate 
Edit – There are still a lot of reasons this won’t work
Will be raising in Aquaponics System for food
Channel catfish is an opportunistic omnivore, gorging itself on nearly any form of living or dead material. Their diet consists of aquatic insects, worms, clams, crayfish, snails, and fish, all of which could be dead or alive. Their stomachs might be packed with vegetable materials dropped into the water or minnows depending on what’s available. However, big channel catfish eat almost nothing but fish.
There are also lots of articles that will help you, howtoaquaponics.info. Hope this will help.

Product DescriptionThe ETL listed Apollo 2 Recycle Timer with photocell provides the perfect solution to your short cycle timing requirements. It has a 10 second to 20 minutes ‘ON TIME’ to activate your grow gear, and 1 minute to 12 hours ‘OFF TIME’ to turn it off as needed. It can be set for daytime only, nighttime only or both day and nighttime control. Now you can dial your CO2, pump or fan to exacting schedules and control your garden to achieve its maximum potential.
I saw a picture on the internet, where this pump sucks water out of a fish tank, sends it up to an area where plants grow and the water goes through a substrate or something where it filters out a lot of the bad content (nitrate and stuff plants love), then it delivers the remaining water back into the fish tank to repeat the cycle.
Now, if I remember correctly, can’t you drown a lot of plants? Or most plants?
I was thinking about maybe growing something neat like vegetables, and aiding the growth of the vegetables with my crayfish tank (who are very messy eaters).
For these types of aquaponic set ups, do you have to turn the water on and off? Or can the cycle keep going and you just don’t have to worry about your plants drowning?
If drowning is an issue, what plants do I use?
Thanks
Chris
Plants only drowned if there is no O2 in the root zone, so as long as the right growing medium is used to allow drainage this wont happen. Pumps are normally on a timer and operate similar to Flood and Drain in hydroponics whereby the growing medium is flooded and allowed to drain back to the tank normally 3 times daily but this can vary. Most plants will grow well in this type of system, a quick google search will tell you more as im no expert on aquaponics just hydro.

It sounds nice. A lot of work but you approach self-sufficiency.
Aquaponics is the strategy of using fish waste to fertilize and grow plants. A closed loop system that grows food. We found this innovation in New Jersey, USA. For more information check out PlanetDiaries.Net
