I don't particularly like catching, looking at, or eating fish but I've seriously considered setting up a backyard aquaponics system as part of an attempt at permaculture.
So far my research has been that it's not particularly economical.
IT is if you already have an in ground pool. (guy on doomsday preppers was raising chickens, duckweed, and tilapia in his pool)

it was self contained. he had a pump for recirculation, but otherwise it was self balancing. Chicken and fish poop fed the Duckweed and some other hydroponic crops, duckweed fed the tilapia, tilapia fed guys family of 3. Ill see if I can't find the clip for you.
I can believe that he managed to balance the system using the solar energy that the duckweed obtains and using an external input in the form of chicken feed but I don't believe the family of three was obtaining a significant fraction of their daily calories on a sustained basis from the amount of tilapia that can be grown in a residential swimming pool that way.
