Aquaponics, my new project / hobby

Hi readers,

Today I have something related to nature and not IT...

The word Aquaponics is combination of two words aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (raising plants in nutrient-rich water).  The Aquaponics is not very much famous in eastern side regions because still the organic vegetables and fruits are available easily.

The system can be adopted with very low budget, let me explain the process to you...








The fish produce ammonia-rich waste after being fed, which is pumped with the water to grow bed.  The fish required oxygen in water to breath which come from grow bed after absorbing carbon dioxide by the plants.

Naturally occurring bacteria convert ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates.  Plants absorb the nitrates as nutrients. Plants are usually suspended on floating raft platforms or planted into rock.

I have asked the world to help me build this system...

Thank you for your reading, I suggest its not a expensive system to give it a try.
