Aquaponics for home cultivation

The aquaponic system that is widely adapted by the farmers today does have advantages or advantages of other planting systems. In an aquaponic system, a stream of water rich in nutrients derived from fish maintenance media is used to flood and provide nutrients to hydroponics plants. This has a good impact on both the fish and plant crops as the plants get the nutrients from the feces of the fish while the water that will flow back to the fish storage container becomes cleaner. Stools derived from feces, urine and fish feed residues are residual substances that can poison fish and can cause contamination if not removed.

So basically, the aquaponic system provides liquid fertilizer derived from fish manure to grow plants hydroponically and vice versa plants and hydroponic media are placed on the pool area also serves as a natural filter or biofilter that can clean water from impurities The role of biofiltration or filtering naturally the dirt water is carried out by the nitrifying bacteria found in plant roots and the hydroponics medium used. In the absence of such bacteria, the nitrogen and ammonia that are toxic to fish can not be filtered and consequently not good for fish growth.
