Aquaponic Farm Design

gardening and raising by way of an aquaponics system

As you know, do hydroponics is practically done at home. However, the price of vitamins or nutrients needed expensive. Similarly, if you do aquaculture. Apart from having a healthy feeding, you should also clean the pool regularly so that the fish can grow well. Well, this happens in the process of symbiotic mutualism hydroponics, where plants get food sources of sewage water fish while the fish got a place to live on the water after purified by plants. So you need not bother buying feed and nutrition for both of them and issued a lot of money.

If translated cycle, in the process of aquaculture, there are remaining fish feed produced in the form of feces that accumulate in the water. Stool with ammonia to nitrate and these are toxins or poisonous to fish, but actually if used as a nutrient-rich source of nutrients for plants. At the time of nitrates have been absorbed by the plants as food, at the same time the plant distills water from hazardous materials which are then returned to the fish pond.

Urbanites, such as hydroponics, aquaponics can also be done at home. To make cultivation with this system, all you need is some of the following components:

Pond or fish tank maintenance.

Unit catcher and separation of solid waste (waste feed and feces).

Bio filter, as a growing medium and a nitrification bacteria convert ammonia to nitrate, which can be used by plants.

Hydroponic subsystem, which is part of the system where the plant grows by absorbing excess nutrients from the water.

Sump, the lowest point in the system. Where water flows to and from, which is pumped back to the tank maintenance.
