Aquaponics System for Life!

What is Aquaponics? Well, Aquaponics is a System that mutually benefits both environments by integrating aquaculture (fish farming) and Hydroponics ( growing of plants without soil).
Aquaponics Systems do not use chemicals, and require only 10% of the water normally needed for regular farming. The waste from the fish tanks is treated with natural bacteria that converts the waste, largely ammonia, first to nitrite and then to nitrate. The fish waste absorbed by plants is pumped to a bio-filter system as a nutrient solution for the growing plants.
The only regular farming activity needed is feeding the fish. Both systems compliment each other in this “Closed” System. Only a small amount of water is needed periodically to replace water that gets evaporated over time.
Aquaponics is very low maintenance and consumes little energy to maintain. Its Pure, Clean, Natural and Organic!
And the best part is, your plants grow 50% faster!
