HOW DOES IT WORK ?

Aquaponics is a closed-loop, sustainable farming method that combines traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). It uses 90% less water than traditional farming.

Fish produce ammonia-rich waste which can become toxic for the fish if allowed to accumulate. Beneficial bacteria in the system converts the ammonia into nitrates. These naturally occurring bacteria grow really well in the plant pots. Nitrates are amazing food for plants ! As the plants continuously uptake the nitrates as nutrients for growth, they are also cleaning the water for the fish.
