Aquaponic systems can easily run as much as a couple thousand dollars. The reason why it is still a very popular idea is because of what it accomplishes as well as the fact that many simply build their own systems. By building you're own system you can save thousands of dollars. Many have built systems for under $200 and I know of one guy who spent well under $100 for the system that he built.
Below are fancier systems. Fancier does NOT mean better, however there are some who just want a system to grow herbs like mint, oregano, basil or thyme and the first one would work for something like that; there are some who may not want to build their own system, but want something small to grow some food indoors or in a greenhouse and the second one would work well in a case like that; there are some who want the aesthetics and the third one would work beautifully for that and there are some who don't want to build their own system and can afford to buy a system like the one on the end.
Again, it's most advisable to just build your own systems and save money. To build your own would require a little research, imagination and trial and error; but the good news is that you'll have an abundant year round source of meat and vegetables.
