What Is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is the combination of Aquaculture and Hydroponics. Hydroponics requires expensive nutrients to feed the plants as well as periodic flushing of the systems which can lead to waste disposal issues. Re-circulating aquaculture needs to have excess nutrients removed from the system which can ordinarily means that a percentage of the water is removed on a daily basis. That nutrient rich water then needs to be disposed of and replaced with clean fresh water. Aquaponics allows you to produce fish and plants in the one system with a large reduction in water use.
Most aquaponics systems fail not because of bad fish or equipment, but because the invisible workforce of beneficial bacteria isn’t thriving. Learn how to protect, maintain, and optimize these essential microbes to keep your fish healthy, your plants flourishing, and your system stable.
Aquaponics and hydroponics both grow plants without soil, but they work in very different ways. This beginner-friendly guide breaks down the key differences in cost, maintenance, sustainability, and long-term value, helping you choose the system that fits your goals. Discover why many growers are switching to aquaponics for a more natural, self-sustaining approach to growing food.
