Aquaponics is a new concept which is combining Aquaculture (fish farming) and Hydroponics Hydroponics (growing plants without soil) in one system producing fish and organic vegetables. The fish waste is treate t reatedd and then used to fertilize hydroponically hydroponically growing gro wing plants. The only inputs are fish fry, fish food, seeds and potting media (AQUAPONICS (AQU APONICS GROW BED MEDIA)
Aquaponics offers offers a method of naturally filtering the fish effluent by the use of a media-based growing growing setting (such as expanded clay = AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA) on the other hand supplying the necessary nutrients to the plants roots and at the same time creating a filter and providing freshly cleansed water to the cultured fish through recirculation. These nutrients – amongst others generated from decomposing fish feed – are harmful substances that would otherwise build up to toxic levels levels in the fish tanks but instead serve as fertilizer to hydroponically grown plants. A media based system is indispensable to allow colonization of beneficial bacteria which break down the ammonia present in t he fish waste into an applicable shape. Our medium AQUAPONICS Hydroponics grow beds will GROW BED MEDIA used within the Hydroponics act as a biofilter stripping off phosphorus, phosphorus, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate accumulations utilizing associated rhizosphere rhizosphere bacteria hence the water can then be recirculated recirculated back into the fish tanks. The nitrifying bacteria -living in AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA – along with the plant roots are playing a critical role in nutrient cycling – these microorganisms are crucial for an effective operation of the whole w hole system. system. made from 100 % natural nat ural clay cl ay good plant and root support (sustains proper oxygen levels around the root zone) higher plant growth & yield better water buffering / excellent drainage medium will act as a biofilter round shaped / pH neutral / lightweight lightweight not containing any toxic chemicals and compounds contains no nutrient
