Pretty sure Dr. Tang Lee from the UofC started doing this almost a decade ago.

Such a clever idea to utilize the fish nitrogen cycle for the plants. I have been waiting for years for someone to develop a home closed-loop system so I can tap all 300 gals of fishtank in my basement to grow me some chives and parsley. EDIT: I should specify that I'm looking for one that looks good as my tanks are display tanks.
