Nitrate is the last nitrogen molecule of the nitrogen cycle. In aquaponics we aim to transform all nitrogen molecules into nitrate. Because it is less toxic for the fish and directly assimilable by the plants. Although, we must keep them below a certain limit. Indeed,...
Let’s review few aquaponics design options… A simple and classic backyard aquaponics system is a flood and drain growbed aquaponics. Advantages of this aquaponics design: Easy to put in place, cheap, simple and convenient inconvenient: Water level in fish...
Finding aquaponics fish fingerlings can be challenging. When you start your aquaponics system you will go through a cycling process which generally last for a month. Then, the ecosystem will be ready to receive your first fish. If you do your homework you will know...
In an aquaponics system the biologic reactions are constantly bringing the pH down. I developed this point in other videos and explained how to maintain the pH in the desired range. However, I still receive the question “How can I lower my pH in aquaponics?”...
