The result was the tasteless vegetables

Hai, Good Afternoon from Malaysia. Basically i did some research recently. In Malaysia, the farmers did try a hydroponic ten years ago .

The result was the tasteless vegetables .( not sweet) 
Is it true that our aquaponic is tasteless as well if compare to soil grow vegetables??

The second thing is the water only can used for few times. and the water became polluted. polluted to environment as well.

The third thing is the vegetable shrink if fried, or withered ,dry fast if doesn't keep in the fridge.

Is it true??

Any of yours experience and brilliant knowledge is appreciated. Thank you.

If the water is polluted, then they are doing it wrong.  We grow in the ground, in the aquaponic system and in hydroponic systems.  I've never had or even heard of any of the problems with vegetables you mentioned.  There is no waist from aquaponic systems except for the fish solids and they go in the in-ground gardens as fertilizer. Even our hydroponic systems don't produce any toxic or harmful effluent, we use the old hydroponic nutrient in our in-ground gardens with fantastic results.

Hydroponic is different then aquaponic. Yes you have to refresh water and nutrients but the waste is no more hazardous then a gardener using fertilizer on there garden.

aquaponics you do not have to refresh your water it is the cycle of life. when was the last time you seen a lake have to be drained because the water was polluted 

with most things in life some one tries something and has a bad experience and tells everyone it dose not work.

my veggies are more tender sweeter and juicer then any store bought items. but I am bias :)

You should try to set up a small system and see for yourself.

Definitely not true.  I garden both in the ground and in aquaponics - aquaponic vegetables always taste as good or better than those grown in the ground.  You might want to try this subject as a forum/plant topic - I believe you'd get more responses.
