Hello i don't even know if i am putting this in the wrong section (if so sorry) however i am new to gardening yet alone hydo and wanted to know if this would work and if it is a + or -.

Basically i get a 100+L plastic tub(used for the water/fish and a 40L tub for the plant/soil...and place them on top of each-other so the soil is in the water just a little bit.

would this work?
is it good ?(i have see that all the ponics are not actually in the water but above and they flood the soil for bit then release it back out)
do i need a pump to get o2 into the water for the fish or will the plant above do it ?
i was going to also put compost worms in the top soil container however i don't know if that's a good idea either


sorry if this makes no sense however i never even heard of aquaponics before and i just dreamt this build lol
