Fish Tank: Fish such as tilapia, catfish, or goldfish are raised in a tank.
Biofiltration: Fish waste, rich in ammonia, is broken down by beneficial bacteria into nitrates.
Grow Beds: Plants absorb these nitrates as nutrients, cleaning the water in the process.
Water Recirculation: The cleaned water returns to the fish tank, and the cycle continues.
Water Efficient: Uses up to 90% less water than traditional farming.
Chemical-Free: No need for artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
Faster Plant Growth: Nutrient-rich water promotes faster and healthier plant development.
Space-Saving: Ideal for urban environments or small spaces.
Dual Harvest: Produces both fresh vegetables and fish.
Media Bed System
Uses gravel or clay pebbles to support plant roots.
Simple and popular for beginners.
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
A thin film of nutrient-rich water flows over the plant roots.
Best for leafy greens and herbs.
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Plants float on water using rafts.
Common in commercial systems.
Vertical Aquaponics
Grows plants in stacked layers.
Saves space and increases production.
