The Basics By combining fish and plants into one system, aquaponics can solve the primary problems of both aquaculture and hydroponics. Fish waste provides a near-perfect plant food and plants, using the minerals created from the waste, do most of the work of cleaning the water for the fish. The Greenhouse Recommended Greenhouse Features: Doors large enough to accommodate a tractorRoll up sidesAutomatic peak ventsVented heaterCirculation fans Water Filtration Filtration is one of the most critical components of an aquaponic system. The systems we use are proven to work in our design Key components: Solids removal capacityWater flowCost to build or purchaseEnergy consumptionEase and frequency of cleaning.

The first step is to start establishing the biofilter. The second step is testing the water quality to chart the functioning of the biofilter, the third and final step is to introduce the fish and plants in stages over 9-12 months until you reach full capacity. The First Fish Cohort Start with a half cohort of fish initially so as not to overwhelm the biofilter. Following the calculations in Chapter 3, add approximately 125 fish weighing 10-20g each for an initial biomass of 1.25 - 2.5 kg. Continue to monitor the water quality and ph daily. It is very important once fish are in the system that the ammonia level does not exceed 3ppm and the nitrates 1ppm. The Plant Production Cycle Your objective is to be operating at full capacity at all times. In order for this to happen, the production cycle must be conducted in reverse order: HarvestThinning and spacingRearranging rafts of plantsTransplant from seedling tablesMove trays from germination chamber to seedling tablesPlant new seeds in germination chamber Read more Read more
