Description
Aquaponics is a method of growing fish and plants together in a closed-loop system.
Technical
The system relies on the nitrogen cycle, where fish waste is converted into ammonia, which is then converted into nitrate by beneficial bacteria, providing a natural source of fertilizer for the plants. The water in an aquaponics system is typically maintained at a pH between 6.8 and 7.2, and a temperature between 18°C and 30°C.
