Looks like there are no plans yet for this course given that thread of this request is quite old ... If your really interested to learn Aquaponics I recommend that you search the internet and download the PDF file of FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) that has the title "Small-Scale Aquaponic Food Production". It will give you a good understanding of how an aquaphonic system works. This document basically shows you how to setup the system in your home using IBC (intermediate bulk container) as the material for raising tilapia and growing vegetables. I have seen some products in the market that basically copied this design and sold it in the market. And this document has been cited (globally) in a number of articles relating to Hydroponics and Aquaculture. The FAO document is quite big (288 pages) and you may have to read it a number of times to understand it but I guarantee you that it is worth it because in the end you will have an excellent knowledge of how Aquaponics works. And with a lot of imagination smile you will be able to come up with your own design of an aquaphonic system that will suit your budget. Why? Because, personally I don't think that the use of IBC here in PH will not fly because of the cost involve. Rodney
