TheNutrient Film Technique (NFT) is an aquaponic growing technique that is popular among aquaponics growers because of its simple yet effective design that works well in some environments. The NFT system is mostly used in larger commercial aquaponics systems, but can also be used by home growers.
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.
