- geomark 8y agoAquaponics is when you combine fish farming and hydroponics, circulating the water from the fish pond which is full of fish poop to feed the plants, and utilizing the plants to filter the water, in a semi-closed system. That's not what they are doing at the nearby farm. I had a fairly large aquaponics system for a while. 30 meter diameter pond with tilapia and a long channel full of gravel that was planted with various vegetables through which pond water was pumped at regular intervals. The pond was large enough and had enough plants in it that it achieved balance on its own without having to continuously run the pump. So maintenance was easy and no fear of the fish dying. In fact, it got out of control with the tilapia multiplying like crazy.
- m1573rp34130dy 8y agosome are like this, but not all... you ended up creating a large scale biological fiter that rendered the tank filter obsolete other than to eutrophize the fish tank environment[good] the basic play is to balance the system of give and take between plants as a nitrogen sink, and a biological nitrogen source... the cycle of nitrosomas and nitrobacter conversion of ammoniacal substance to nitrite and nitrate available for plant assimilation occurs in the particulate accumulated in the gravel bed... fish are convienient and tasty but very often a compost tailings lagoon is used...there is a wide acceptance of bio remediation of sewage, hor farm runoff in the niagara escarpment area...
