The fish waste is t reate d and then used to fertilize hydr oponically gro wing plants. The only inputs are fish fry, fish food, seeds and potting media (AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA) Aquaponics offe rs a method of naturally filtering the fish effluent by the use of a media-based gro wing setting (such as expanded clay = AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA) on the other hand supplying the necessary nutrients to the plants roots and at the same time creating a filter and providing freshly cleansed water to the cultured fish through recirculation. These nutrients – amongst others generated from decomposing fish feed – are harmful substances that would otherwise build up to toxic lev els in the fish tanks but instead serve as fertilizer to hydroponically grown plants. A media based system is indispensable to allow colonization of beneficial bacteria which break down the ammonia present in t he fish waste into an applicable shape. Our medium AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA used within the Hydropo nics grow beds will act as a biofilter stripping off phosph orus, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate accumulations utilizing associated rhizospher e bacteria hence the water can then be recir culated back into the fish tanks. The nitrifying bacteria -living in AQUAPONICS GROW BED MEDIA – along with the plant roots are playing a critical role in nutrient cycling – these microorganisms are crucial for an effective opera- tion of the whole system. made from 1 00 % nat ural cl ay good plant and root support (sustains proper oxygen levels around the root zone) higher plant growth & yield better water buffering / excellent drainage medium will act as a biofilter round shaped / pH neutral / lightweight not containing any toxic chemicals and compounds contains no nutrient
