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.
Ammonia plays a significant role in an aquaponics system. It starts the nitrogen cycle and is an engine to your system's ecology. Fish produce waste that is full of ammonia. Bacteria convert them into nitrites and then nitrates necessary for plant growth.
