easy diy aquaponics system
Hi, its been long since I posted. And guess what I found while going through my previous semesters paperwork; an aquaponic presentation I (and a collegue of mine) did back in 2008! Here is some of its content.
INTRODUCTION
Terminology : Spelled : aqua·pon·ics
Pronunciation : [ak-wuh-pon-iks]
: noun (used with a singular verb)
: origin: 1996-97; aqua(culture) + (hydro)ponics
: symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment
Brief explanation :
- Fish waste accumulates in water as a byproduct of the keeping them in a closed-tank aquaculture system. The waste rich water becomes high in plant nutrients but is toxic to the aquatic animal.
2. Plants are grown in a hydroponic system that utilizes the nutrient rich water. The plants in turn digest the nutrients, reducing or eliminating the waters toxicity for the aquatic animal.
- The water, now clean, is returned to the aquatic animal environment and the cycle continues. Aquaponics systems do not discharge or exchange water.
The systems rely on the natural relationship between the aquatic animals and the plants to maintain the environment.
