Explore the Basics of Aquaponic Systems
At its core, aquaponic farming involves two main components: a fish tank and a grow bed for plants. Fish produce waste that contains ammonia, which is toxic to them in high concentrations. Beneficial bacteria convert this ammonia first into nitrites and then into nitrates, which serve as nutrients for plants. The plants absorb these nutrients, effectively cleaning the water, which is then recirculated back to the fish tank.
