Once your aquaponics system is set up and running comes the maintenance to ensure its success and the return of your investment. But how do you maintain an aquaponics system? Well, one of the great thing about aquaponics systems is that it requires less maintenance than the traditional growing methods because there is no weeding, fertilizing, and watering involved.
When the dissolved oxygen is low, fish, plants, bacteria, and other aquatic organisms will not survive, which will result in a failure of the aquaponics system.
Traditionally, oxygen dissolution is done through aeration, introducing fine air bubbles in the water via air pumps. This article will share what you should know about air pump aquaponics, why it is essential, and learn more about the factors you need to consider in choosing the right air pump.
